520    Monte Carlo's most lavish casinos have become the targets 
       of an efficient, brutal, and highly successful group of 
       criminal gamblers; a casino dealer has been beaten to 
       death; a German heiress's son has been kidnapped. Who 
       better to connect the crimes, and foil the brilliant plot,
       than Simon Riske, freelance industrial spy? Riske - part 
       Bond, and part Reacher - knows the area well: it's where 
       as a young man he himself was a thrill-seeking thief, 
       robbing armored trucks through daring car chases, until he
       was double-crossed, served his time, and graduated as an 
       investment genius from the Sorbonne. Now Riske is a man 
       who solves problems, the bigger and the "riskier" the 
       better. From the baccarat tables of the finest casinos to 
       the yachts in the marina, to the private jet company that 
       somehow ties these criminal enterprises together, Simon 
       Riske will do what he does best: get in over his head, 
       throw himself into danger, and find some way to out-think 
       and out-maneuver villains of every stripe. One of the most
       enjoyable, clever, and entertaining new series to come 
       along in years, this sequel to The Take gives readers what
       they desire most: a hero we can root for, locales we wish 
       were in, and a plot that never lets up.
