High stakes / Iris Johansen.

Johansen, Iris, (author.).

Summary:

"Logan Tanner lives the exhilarating life of a professional gambler, taking risks with nerves of steel. From casinos in Macau to Monte Carlo to Milan, he's racked up a fortune and become a living legend. But all the glitz and glamour hide a dark and violent past as an extractor -- a world that comes rushing back to him when the beautiful and innocent Lara Balkon enters his life. Soon Logan is drawn into the conflict between two Russian mafia bosses over Lara, whose life now hangs in the balance. Logan has been offered something more valuable than money -- information he desperately needs -- in exchange for getting Lara out of Russia and to safety. Once together, Tanner discovers that Lara is a force to be reckoned with in her own right. Tanner's search for the truth leads them to the bright lights of Las Vegas, where the person who was hunting Lara now lies in wait for them. As the stakes climb with each deadly confrontation, Logan and Lara are catapulted into a game against pure evil. The odds are stacked against them, but it's a game they know they must play ... even if it may cost them their lives."- Publisher's description.

    Having crafted two Sam and Remi Fargo adventures with the late Cussler (Pirate and The Romanov Ransom), former California law enforcement officer Burcell takes the daring duo on another far-flung adventure in Clive Cussler's The Serpent's Eye. Grabbing the tail end of 2020's Total Power and marching right along to the next adventure, Flynn/Mills's Enemy at the Gates finds Mitch Rapp protecting trillionaire Nicholas Ward, the object of a CIA mole's surreptitious search, while simultaneously using him as bait to dig up the mole (500,000-copy first printing). In The Burning, Kellerman père et fils bring back Deputy Coroner Clay Edison, dealing with the murder of a wealthy man in the midst of wildfire and blackout while anxious that his ex-con brother may be connected. In Lupica's Robert B. Parker's Stone's Throw, Paradise police chief Jesse Stone finds uncomfortable links between Paradise's acting mayor, whose death surely looked to be suicide, and the dangerous perpetrators of a suspect land deal. No plot details yet, but Johansen is clearly playing for High Stakes when she sets her latest in the gambling world. In Edgar/Anthony-nominated McCreight's Friends Like These, friends with secrets gather in the Catskills ten years after graduation, and things get bloody.
