A Tease of Murder is the prelude to the Tucker and Reggie series, with Tucker Elliott visiting Sin City, where what happens in Vegas does not stay in Vegas. With headlines following him wherever he goes, Tucker is sent stateside with Tolliver, the "chaperone," to spy for the company. But the tide turns quickly when not one but two women die the minute he meets them. Since he is the last to see them alive, he becomes the prime suspect until their luck changes and he and Tolliver are targeted.

When they gamble on a far-fetched scheme to catch the killer, they could triumph or lose it all. The stakes are high as the chase leads them to a fight to the death. Will they win the hand and the game, or will they be forced to fold?
