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, and clever cons at the casinos and you're in for a delightful read!
"In Tony Valentine, Swain has created a classic detective who will have a long career as a series hero." -- The Flint Journal
"A terrific coming-out roll...featuring lean prose...and an action-fueled plot." -- St. Petersburg Times

This is a really fast paced mystery that was a great read.
Good and funny book about detective Tony Valentine who specializes in casino scams
This is going to be a great character to keep up with, it has mystery and humor and very interesting characters.
I have been reading this series lately and enjoy it quite a bit. The main character is really interesting.
This is a different type of mystery. Funny and plently of twists.
