Funny Money by James Swain
When we last saw Tony Valentine - former cop, lifelong misanthrope, and sixty something freelance 'grifter hunter' - he was just coming up for air after a close brush with the afterlife. Now, Tony's back on the case in FUNNY MONEY, James Swain's hardboiled, page-turning follow up to his breakthrough GRIFT SENSE. This time around, it's personal: Valentine's ex-partner Doyle Flanagan has been blown to pieces by a car bomb. Shortly before his death, Doyle had been filling Valentine in on the details of his latest case - an impressive six million dollar blackjack scam at Atlantic City's legendary Bombay casino. Valentine determines that the only way to bring his friend's killers to justice is to crack the Bombay heist himself. But standing between Valentine and his goal is a head spinning assortment of ruthless gangsters, crooked croupiers, eccentric millionaires, Croations with bad haircuts, and one irresistibly enigmatic female wrestler.
James Swain gives around a hundred magic and gambling demonstrations a year. He is considered one of the best card handlers in the world. He writes a bi-monthly column for Genii Magazine, the world's largest magazine for magicians.
