A high-stakes thriller where "Ocean's Eleven" meets "The Punisher" on the Atlantic City Boardwalk. The house always wins—unless Bob Burke is at the table. When an old Army buddy takes a five-story header off the balcony of a casino owned by the Gambinos and Luccheses, two of New York's most ruthless crime families, Bob Burke wants to know why, who’s responsible, and who’s going to pay. Sergeant First Class Vinnie Pastorini had survived six tours in Iraq and the high mountain valleys of Afghanistan, as Major Burke had, and Vinnie didn’t come home to bleed out on an Atlantic City sidewalk. The mob controls the casinos, the cops, the judges, and the streets, but they just declared war on the wrong people. Bob Burke controls something far more dangerous: a team of Delta Force operators who treat a million-dollar heist like a training exercise and Gumbahs like a minor inconvenience. There’s always room on the team for a Barrett .50-caliber sniper rifle, a pair of baby-faced computer Geeks, a two-star Army General who needs something to do, a Chicago homicide detective, a female F-16 pilot, a Russian computer hacker, a world-renowned pickpocket, and Burke's new wife, Linda. From stealth helicopters to exploding luxury yachts and bodies in 55-gallon oil drums, bank accounts vanish and the action is non-stop. As the tattoo on “Ace” Randall's forearm, Burke's lead NCO, says, “Kill ‘em all. Let God sort it out.” Burke’s Gamble: Book #2 of the 10-book Bob Burke action thriller series.
