Players

About the Book

Former Deputy District Attorney David McCann, tempted by more wealth and power than he'd ever imagined, is embroiled in a politically-charged, high-stakes deal: to legalize Las Vegas-style gambling at a Los Angeles racetrack. In with him are rogue cops, corrupt politicians, and a cashiered Army officer turned enforcer. Against him are his own double-crossing partner, Philip Gantz, the Chinese mafia, and a kill-hungry, amateur hit-man.

Corruption and blackmail at first seem justified, but when David falls in love with Gantz's girlfriend, he is forced to confront the moral price of his conduct, and to decide between the life he has dreamed of and the love he has found.
