The Druperman Tapes by John Goodger

The Druperman Tapes by John Goodger
Synopsis

"Emmett Druperman, the CEO of the Galaxy Hotel and Casino and the head of a secret cooperative of the most powerful casinos in Las Vegas, has received a videotape threatening violence against the cooperative's casinos unless a ransom is paid. The criminals identify themselves only by a code name." "Furious and ready for a fight, the ruthless Druperman calls in Steve Forrester, the head of the Galaxy's security team and an ex-Las Vegas cop, to find out who the criminals are - and to stop them. Forrester must now rely on the best cop he knows, his ex-partner, Frank Marshall. Unfortunately, Marshall has a drinking problem and a problem with Forrester - he hates his guts." "When the cooperative refuses to pay the ransom, the criminals go ahead with their violent plans and raise the stakes again. Banded together by greed and pulled apart by egos, the deadly group is surprisingly made up of only three small-time thieves - the glamorous, sophisticated casino grafter Dan Shiller, the mathematical genius and blackjack card counter Jurgen Voss, and the sadistic security guard Buster Malloy. Their plan is flawless - if they can only hold themselves together." As the vicious team puts together their final horrendous plan, the Las Vegas police, Forrester and Forrester's new girlfriend, Lucy Baker, scramble to stop them from killing thousands of innocent people.
