Masterful storytelling, gripping legal drama, and relentless suspense define Perri O'Shaughnessy's work. Critics praise her legal thrillers as "terrific" and "a real puzzler" with diabolical twists. In this electrifying tale, attorney Nina Reilly is drawn into a shadowy world of high-stakes money and cold-blooded murder in South Lake Tahoe. Known for championing underdog cases, Nina's latest challenge begins on a summer night when she meets a desperate new client, Jessie Potter, who has just won a massive slot machine jackpot. However, powerful interests are determined to claim the winnings, including a gaming commission that suspects the jackpot was rigged and a man who insists the money is rightfully his.
