Jim Fratino is a casino worker and, unbeknown to his wife Annette, part-time burglar. When a job goes wrong, Jim is left with no option but to confess to Annette. She forgives him, but wants him to give up the moonlighting. And then Jim discovers something suspicious going on at the casino. He enlists Annette's help and sets out to uncover the perpetrator.This was a great mystery/thriller, shades of Ocean's Eleven and in places it made me think of Bruce Willis in Hudson Hawk (the singing to himself), but very original and creative. The novel is well written with lots of humour and human interest, believable characters who appeal despite their failings, and a gripping plot line. Once you start reading this, you won't want to put it down. Five stars - highly recommended.
