    About this audiobook

    Con artist Billy Cunningham is no stranger to the casinos of Las Vegas—he’s ripped off every single one. But his latest scam—a year in the making—promises his crew their biggest payday yet. Billy has thought of everything down to the last detail…or so he thinks.

    He hasn’t counted on the father-son team of contract killers looking to cash in on Billy’s head. Or his old flame, Maggie Flynn, out for payback for her broken heart. If Billy and his team can pass themselves off as high rollers for a week straight, living it up in Vegas’s most exclusive suites and box seats, they’ll get their chance to make their VIP status permanent. It’s the biggest scam of their lives—if they live.

      Many years ago my Gaming Law professor recommended [a:James Swain|61011|James Swain|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1331273894p2/61011.jpg]'s books as accurate portrayals of the gaming industry and casinos, and the people who try to cheat them. I read several of his Tony Valentine series and really enjoyed them. For some reason I didn't keep up with his books and this is the first book of his that I've read in a number of years. I thoroughly enjoyed every page of this book. The characters and their scam are excellent, and the suspense built up throughout the book is perfect. [b:Bad Action|27852636|Bad Action|James Swain|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1453935006s/27852636.jpg|47840393] follows Billy Cunningham and his crew as they conspire to take down a large Las Vegas casino. Naturally, the plot doesn't go exactly to plan, and the action, while not over-the-top, is non-stop. This is a great, fun, light read.
