  "Vegas deals in cards, but tonight it’s a deadly hand." 
  In the underbelly of Sin City, Bert knew he was playing with fire. Seven players entered a shadowy back room for a game of Crazy Eights, fueled by ambition and desperation. Only four walked out alive. Among them was Bert—a flashy card counter whose golden run had finally turned into a deadly gamble. Now, all he wants is to escape the neon claws of Las Vegas. 
  Every glint of his garish suit and piece of gold jewelry made Bert a spectacle on the casino floors, but in the secret rooms of high stakes and higher risks, those same traits made him a target. A mysterious adversary has marked him, and now he must navigate a city that once welcomed him as a king but now wants him silenced. 
  In pursuit are Tony and Troy, enigmatic twins who once dreamed of wearing FBI badges but now serve the shadows. Known as TNT for their explosive methods, they’ll stop at nothing to uncover who’s really dealing the cards. As Bert eyes the horizon, hopes pinned on a new disguise, a long-lost friend, and an Uber ride into anonymity, the hunter becomes the hunted in this taut game of cat and mouse. 
  Can Bert's wits outplay the ultimate bluff, or will Vegas claim its due? In this stark, cutting edge audio tale from the Solitaire Series, the stakes have never been higher, and folding is not an option.
