Short book note: :”What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas…especially murder”
Chance, Jackie. Death on the Flop. NY: Berkley, 2007.
This book, occasionally sub-titled “swimming with card sharks,” claims to be the “first poker mystery.”* If so, I can say with confidence that the great American poker mystery has yet to be written. I sha’n't worry about spoilers since what starts out rotten can scarcely be spoiled later.
Suffice it to say that the heroine/amateur sleuth in the space of a couple of days goes from a state of complete ignorance about poker, not knowing a straight from a flush, to the winner of a major Vegas tournament and queen of the poker babes, all thanks to being coached by some not-quite-so-random hot guy she picks up in a casino and reading the best book on poker, later identified as being written by someone named Hellmuth (LOL).
*CSI did an episode on poker back in its early days, but apparently the publisher does not count tv scripts.
