Publisher's Synopsis
Four friends from university, approaching their 40s. One dead celebrity. Three days in Las Vegas. One million pounds to spend. What could possibly go wrong?
Jack, Charlie, Piers and Tom have all gone their separate ways since university and life has dealt kinder hands to some than to others. Nevertheless, when Michael Jackson dies it signals the culmination of a game begun nearly two decades earlier and the friends must meet again, for the trip of a lifetime.
Seasoned poker players from their days in Cardiff, there can be only one destination: Las Vegas.
Secrets abound, with the break-up of relationships, the loss of jobs, bankruptcy, loan sharks and hitmen ensuring that this really is an unforgettable experience. The trip takes a serious turn for the worse when Piers goes missing and a ransom is demanded for his return.
The problem is, there is no money left in the pot. How has it come to this? There's no time to answer that question as the clock is ticking for Charlie, Tom and Jack to secure the money and their friend's freedom but the truth will always find its way out...
