Overturned

Edgar Award-winning author Lamar Giles sets his latest mystery in seedy Las Vegas where Nathan Tate, a professional poker player and casino owner, has just been released from prison, having been exonerated for the murder of an old friend and business partner. When he’s subsequently murdered shortly after his release, his daughter Nikki, along with her best friends Molly and Gavin, investigate the crime in an attempt to bring the murderer to justice, but there are several possible suspects, including Big Bert Carlino who owns a competing casino and whose son, Davis, Nikki has recently started dating. Nikki, who is adept at playing cards like her father, uses her knowledge of the game and her connections to her advantage, but when Nikki receives a threat at school and her home is broken into, she begins to question who she can and can’t trust. Overturned is a thrilling mystery with an intelligent, strong-willed heroine who is determined to bring her father’s murderer to justice. Mystery fans will not be disappointed.
