"I don't have the inner struggles of mob boss Tony Soprano, the charisma of art thief Thomas Crown, nor the psychopathy of con artist Tom Ripley, but I am a criminal, yet in a softer, newfangled kind of a way. I'm a self-proclaimed 'gentle grifter,' with a big heart and a pesky conscience, darn it. So, when a body mysteriously shows up in my upscale casino hotel suite and Sin City's lady kingpin demands I take on a dreadful task, it's a double whammy. I have no choice but to contend with murder, a kidnapping, and tons of blackmail, then play a dangerous game of cat and mouse in order to save my friends and family from certain destruction. Spanning Las Vegas and Palm Springs, this is - if I do say so myself - a darkly funny, twist-and-turn crime adventure that never takes itself too seriously. Just like me." -Macon Lence-
