Description

Sean Caughlin, a ruthless businessman, died in his sleep inside his locked bedroom at an up-scale resort. He was there for a high-stakes poker weekend with old friends and associates. Caughlin's daughter, uncertain about the Medical Examiner's conclusion of heart failure, hires PI Rick Conwright to look into her father's death. Rick learns that each person at the game had a reason to hate the deceased. Why did they all gather for a weekend of cards after years of estrangement? What were the men holding back? Probing through the conspiracy of silence, stumbling upon a deadly smuggling ring, and uncovering hidden relationships, Rick finally identifies an ingenious killer. With the help of a curious engineer, a colorful Antiguan detective, a professional computer hacker, the owner of a bicycle messenger service, and a beautiful television newscaster, Rick closes in. A trap is set, but just as Rick gets the proof he needs, he must fight his way out of a deadly confrontation. The killer escapes and Rick must pursue him on a fog-choked river with everything on the line.
