"Stolen sports cars, brilliant casino heists, and the brazen kidnapping of a prince: only the shadowy spy-for-hire Simon Riske can stop the mastermind behind it all"--

Monte Carlo's casinos have become the targets of an efficient, brutal, and highly successful group of criminal gamblers; a casino dealer has been beaten to death; a German heiress's son has been kidnapped. Simon Riske knows the area well from his time as a thrill-seeking thief. Now he is a man who solves problems. From the baccarat tables of the finest casinos to the yachts in the marina, to the private jet company that somehow ties these criminal enterprises together, Riske will do what he does best: get in over his head, throw himself into danger, and find some way to out-think and out-maneuver the villains. -- adapted from back cover
