The only girl in the Game. She would never escape her past--her fate to be caught forever in the sick glitter of the great sucker trap.
Cony Island in the desert Miami Beach without an ocean, nothing but sand and neon and money, money everywhere. Big name entertainers rubbing elbows with big name gangsters over the green-baize craps tables. Bare-breasted showgirls conning the big spenders in the small hours.
All night marriage chapels. Divorces hocking their jewels for a final desperate fling. Little white balls bouncing around all the roulette wheels, twenty-four hours a day. World without end ... VEGAS!!
