The Good Thief's Guide to Vegas: a Mystery

Chris Ewan's The Good Thief's Guide to Vegas is the next caper in a series that?s being called ?impressive? comic?fresh? (Publishers Weekly--starred review). Charlie Howard isn?t only a part-time crime writer and part-time thief; he?s also a magician. For his next trick, he?ll relieve Josh Masters, the famous illusionist vying for the affections of Charlie?s agent Victoria, of a fortune in casino chips stashed in his hotel safe. Revenge would be sweet?if there weren?t a dead redhead floating in Masters? bathtub and Masters himself hadn?t just disappeared in a puff of smoke after cheating at roulette. Convinced that Charlie is in on the scam, the casino?s owners give him an impossible mission: pull off an elaborate heist to reimburse the house for every dollar his ?accomplice? made off with, or enjoy a one-way trip into the desert.
