Lucky the hard way : a novel
(Book)

Sequel to: Lucky break.

As Christmases go, this one is proving a bit taxing for Lucky O'Toole, Vice President of Customer Relations for the Babylon, Las Vegas' most over-the-top Strip resort casino. While facing a murder indictment, Teddie, Lucky's former lover, has fled to Macau hot on the heels of the man everyone thinks is the real murderer, Irv Gittings. Lucky knows that if Irv finds Teddie first, Lucky will never see him again. Mr. Cho, a powerful figure in the Chinese underworld in Macau, is blackmailing the Big Boss with knowledge of gambling anomalies at the Babylon's property in Macau. If the Macanese authorities are alerted, the resulting fallout would crumble the financial foundation of Lucky's entire gambling empire. A trip to Macau is inevitable.
