The whole city is gambling crazy, and the big guys want in.Suddenly Bobby is playing with the heaviest hitters in New York, including the mayor, the state assembly speaker, and two dueling business tycoons: d one who's into floating casinos, one who's into real estate, and both who are into a famous female tennis celebrity. As Bobby tries to figure out who is backstabbing whom and why, he comes upon the heart of the case, one that is connected with New York City's last honest men: a rabbi, a minister, and a priest. No joke. But to find the truth, Bobby will have to enter the one game in town that isn't fixed -- and gamble with his life.
