I have been reading this series, and this is the second one. They are fun---maybe because the hero is "OF" like me, so I can relate to him.
"Writing about a world where everyone is on the take, Swain has a soft spot for colorful characters. His direct style works just fine." -- The new York Times Book Review
"Smart, snappy, tremendously infectious." -- St. Petersburg Times
A fun book to read. -- Paul C.

This is the second book in this series.
I've found a new author to add to my series list. Swain has created a down to earth casino swindler investigator who is a "real" type of man. No phoniness here! Valentine calls them as he sees them, and usually he is the only one who sees how people are cheating the casinos. Add a gray haired neighbor lady who keeps him on his toes, a son that he doesn't get along with, an clever cons at the casinos and you're in for a delightful read!

Very good and funny Tony Valentine book.
Another good entry in this author's series. Good mystery, interesting tips on gambling and the behind the scenes look at Atlantic City and Las Vegas.
I thought it was silly, but others love it.
This is a fun series, Tony Valentine is an ex-cop working for casinos to spot the cheaters but he always ends up in more trouble.
