About the Book

When Jack Harper finds an old poker chip in his Las Vegas hotel room, he is confident his troubled past is behind him. The chip has a dark past of its own, however, deeply rooted in 1960s Vegas where greed, betrayal, and revenge were the best odds in the house, entangling Jack in a sinister history that threatens his very existence.

The Lucky Chip is a gripping psychological thriller of betrayal and murder. Jack and Emily's weekend trip is not the first time truth is gambled and relationships saved or ruined. Time often binds itself to objects, and fortune rarely favors the bold.
