The Casino

Iain Ryan

This place is paradise. A gleaming, golden paradise, and mark my words, we intend to keep it that way, by any means possible. You can bet on it.

Detective Lana Cohen thought she had found a slice of peace on the sun-drenched Gold Coast, but her respite is shattered when a severed hand is found on a local beach. 

As the investigation unfolds, Lana is thrust into an uneasy partnership with an off-the-rails Internal Investigations cop ‘Miami’ Vince Walters, and a mysterious Melbourne private investigator Ewan Hayes. It soon becomes clear the new casino is bustling with shady types willing to lose it all, the glitzy shopping centres are rife with shoplifting and the gaudy nightlife is still full of corruption and drugs.

The Casino is a thrilling journey into a world where the stakes are deadly, and trust is the ultimate gamble.
