It's the holiday season of 1965, and the fabulous Caesars Palace resort and casino is about to open in Las Vegas. And its vault is filled to bursting with cash. John Harper and Saul "Salsa" Salzman roll into town with inside information: a secret way into the casino, leading right to the vault itself. Putting together a small but highly skilled team, they make their move, aiming for untold riches. But jobs like this never go as planned. A beautiful widow, a jealous enforcer, and a murderous rival casino owner all want a piece of the pie.

Shades of Westlake
Revisado: 12-22-19
This is a terrific yarn. Very much aligned to the works of the beloved and missed late Donald Westlake. Van Allen Plexixo has done a wonderful job emulating Westlake’s “Dortmunder” comic crime series. Whether or not pastiche was Plexico’s intention, the story starts fast and never loses its pacing or narrative. Not as funny as the Dortmunder novels, but if there are more in this series (and I sure hope these is) a fleck of comedy would really take this to the next level.
But, I can’t be as enthusiastic with the narration. I never heard Pete Milan before. It sounded as if he read the entire novel with a perpetual sneer. Such a disservice to the fine material.
PS .. Van is the head honcho of several great podcasts as part of his “White Rocket” entertainment group. One of them is a terrific James Bond podcast. It was fun to hear him Easter Egg some Bond material into the story!
