Books like Grift sense by James Swain


Inside Las Vegas’ glittering Acropolis Casino, Frank Fontaine is outsmarting the house. The casino’s security suspects a blonde dealer, Nola, of complicity, but evidence is elusive. Tony Valentine, a seasoned grifter, sees the case as perhaps the biggest swindle of his career. With his uncanny "grift sense," he navigates a world of fake Greek statues, glamorous hostesses, and a casino owner whose personal life threatens to implode. Tony must separate the real con from an impending scam that could outdo any he’s dealt with before.
