Book Review: A hostile takeover may be percolating
Summary: 3 Stars
Spenser is asked to find Julius Ventura's son-in law, Anthony Meeker. Ventura gives Spenser a hard look. He is connected.
Anthony gambles a lot and loses. He is probably afraid of his wife Shirley's father. He handles money for Ventura, Shirley believes. Anthony used to speak to a waitress about his system for winning at gambling.
Susan tells Spenser it is unwise to generalize about the sources of compulsive behavior. Anthony may have been carrying money betwee Ventura and Gino Fish. He is probably in Las Vegas. Spenser decides to go there with Susan and Hawk.
Anthony is found at the Mirage. Shirley Ventura dies in Las Vegas. Spenser makes the identification for the police since she is found holding his card. It seems that Anthony is actually in Las Vegas with a rival tough guy's wife.
Scams and cross-scams cause death and mayhem. Even the Russians are involved in the action.
