Drawing Dead

the long version

Jake Morgan just can't seem to win. In "Drawing Dead," the Las Vegas poker dealer and ex-cop is dealt a hand by his casino boss and forced to play. A beautiful high roller, sick of her husband, takes a prescription of gambling and gamboling in Vegas to cure herself. She finds her medicine-Morgan. He reluctantly plays hotel gigolo, and ends up in her suite. An assassin enters with a cure-all for the woman by popping two lead pills into her head. Just as Morgan is cleared in her death, attempts on his life seem to multiply as he gets closer to what he prays is not the ugly truth. Could he be on the wrong side? When he tries to walk away from Laura, Jake Morgan is placed in the crosshairs of an adversary who will not be denied.
