The Glitter Gulch Double-Cross

"Step into the seedy underbelly of 1970s Las Vegas with The Glitter Gulch Double-Cross**, a gritty pulp detective tale by A. Stone. Vince 'Snake Eyes' Moreno, a half-Italian, half-Mojave PI with a scarred past, navigates a neon-lit maze of deceit after mob bookie Joey Bones drops dead—or so it seems—in Glitter Gulch alley, leaving Snake with a pair of loaded dice. Tequila-fueled and clad in electric blue polyester, Snake's hunt for answers drags him from dive bars like the Silver Slipper to the Ruiz Casino's velvet lounge, where Carmela Ruiz, a cool-headed dame with a deadly edge, pulls strings tied to a '62 frame-up that once left him for dead. With bent cops like Lt. Ray Carver breathing down his neck and small-time hustler Eddie 'Dice' Malone begging for a lifeline, Snake uncovers a double-cross deeper than a desert grave—Joey's alive, the dice are cursed, and his own prints are the bait. Packed with snappy dialogue, heart-pounding action, and twists that hit like a slug to the gut, this noir thriller blends classic hardboiled vibes with Vegas swagger. Will Snake bluff his way out or fold under the heat? Perfect for fans of pulp fiction, crime suspense, and retro detective stories,** The Glitter Gulch Double-Cross delivers a relentless ride through a world where greed rules and shadows hide the truth."
