The weather is hot in southern Oklahoma, but the blackjack tables at the Fortune Frontier Casino are even hotter. They are so hot that a blackjack player is brutally murdered alongside a highway in broad daylight! Was he killed for the $12,000 in cash that he was carrying, or was the motive related to his blackjack game? This question is left up to a sharp-dressed FBI agent from Maine and a gorgeous southern Oklahoma deputy sheriff. If they can learn the game of blackjack, deal with a few unsavory casino managers, and survive the brutal Oklahoma heat, they might just be able to solve this murder case. With a little luck, they might even win a few bucks at the blackjack tables as well!
