Murder isn't supposed to be in the cards for blackjack dealer Maddie Larsson. Busted takes on a new meaning, however, when her favorite customer, a former Poker World Tour champion, is murdered. His family claims—loudly and often—that Maddie is a gold-digging murderer. She better prove she's on the level before the real killer cashes in her chips.
If the victim's body had been dumped five hundred yards up the road, Franklin County Sheriff's Detective JC Dimitrak wouldn't have been assigned to the Tom Tom Casino murder case. Instead, he's hunting for suspects and evidence while dealing with a nemesis from the past and trying to preserve his own future. He better play his cards correctly and find the killer before an innocent woman takes the ultimate hit.
