Sucker Bet by James Swain

An Elmore Leonard-like mystery. Very good. Hardened ex-cop, Tony Valentine, likes to catch those who cheat the casinos and is good at it. Casino bosses keep him so busy he may have to give up his second job as a wrestler. His neighbor, Mable, acts as his secretary and second in command and really doesn't like his 20 some years younger girl friend, a lady wrestler. Tony gets involved in a really big scam with some pretty shady characters and is wondering if his luck is going to run out. Not available in Villisca library, but worth ordering from another. Sandy P
