Skim Deep

The first new Nolan novel in 33 years from one of the masters of the genre, Max Allan Collins, award-winning author of Road to Perdition. The onetime world-class thief Nolan - now happily gone straight with his own restaurant/nightclub - whisks his longtime lover Sherry off to Vegas for a trip to a wedding chapel and a honeymoon stay. But an eye-in-the-sky security cam at a casino spots Nolan, whose past catches up with him when he`s thought to be casing the joint. An old 'friend' sees Nolan as the perfect patsy for a scheme to heist the weekly skim haul, and when the former thief`s young frequent accomplice, Jon - a musician in the casino`s house band - finds the couple mysteriously, suspiciously missing, it`s up to Nolan`s Best Man to keep wedding bells from tolling a funeral march.
