Logan Tanner lives the exhilarating life of a professional gambler, taking risks with nerves of steel. From casinos in Macau to Monte Carlo to Milan, he's racked up a fortune and become a living legend. But all the glitz and glamor hide a dark and violent past as an extractor--a world that comes rushing back to him when the beautiful and innocent Lara Balkon enters his life. Drawn into the conflict between two Russian mafia bosses over Lara, Logan is offered something more valuable than money-- information he desperately needs-- in exchange for getting Lara out of Russia and to safety. Lara is a force to be reckoned with in her own right, and soon the pair are in Las Vegas, where the person who was hunting Lara now lies in wait for them. -- adapted from jacket
