Informazioni su questo ebook
A wealthy Vegas casino owner must sort through his shady past to find a threat to his empire—and the city—in this action-packed thriller.
To Dream . . . To Dare . . . To Win . . .
The ancient motto, inscribed in Latin on a mysterious golden medallion, recovered from the ruins of the Roman Empire, has guided Michael Tiranno to heights few men have achieved. Once an orphaned farm boy in his native Sicily, Michael made millions by mastering the intricate world of high finance. Now he is the fabulously wealthy owner of Las Vegas’s The Seven Sins, the grandest and most extravagant casino in the world. The lavish resort embodies the personal philosophy fueled by his lust for power: the greater the risk, the greater the reward.
But he also has secrets, secrets that he and Naomi Burns, his driven corporate attorney and confidante, have gone to great lengths to bury. When an enemy from the past threatens to undermine everything he has built, his dark history must now be uncovered. Together, they must tear open painful scars in Michael’s heart and soul to discover the true identity of their unknown foe—before all of Las Vegas pays the price for Michael Tiranno’s realized dreams . . .
The Seven Sins is a globe-spanning saga of one man’s spectacular rise from rags to riches, the sins that brought him there, and the insidious vendetta that may cost him everything.
Praise for The Seven Sins
“The Godfather meets the TV series Las Vegas in this collision of money and power. . . . Land’s books ooze adrenaline, but the over-the-top action is nicely supported by flesh-and-blood characters. He hits on all cylinders here. Expect fans of high-octane thrillers to be clamoring for more Tiranno the Tyrant.” —Booklist
“This breathless, violent first in a new thriller series. . . . Nonstop action and a dizzying array of exotic locales make this great fun to read.” —Publishers Weekly
