Game of Chance: Con Law Trilogy - Book 1
Sequel to Grifter Trilogy
After living her entire life as a grifter, Chance lands her dream job at a court in an attempt to go straight. But when it appears that she won’t make it past probation, she reverts back to her old ways and teams up with Joe, a grifter turned loan shark with a scheme to take advantage of court rulings that are leaked before the decisions are made public. Even though Chance has a change of heart, Joe refuses to end their lucrative arrangement which now has the attention of the syndicate, and Joe makes it clear to Chance that if the syndicate gets to him, they get to her.
In addition to the intense heat from the syndicate and the investigation closing in on the source of the leak at the court, the trifecta of dilemmas is complete when Chance is placed squarely within the crosshairs of a hitman when she helps her grifter cousin Jared with a scheme of his own.
With a target on her back and no margin for error, Chance will need the perfect plan to outmaneuver Joe, evade the syndicate's top hitman, and escape the reach of the syndicate's enforcers, making the odds that she survives as certain as a dodgy game of chance.

An excellent read, interesting story, and compelling characters. The story ties up in a neat little bow, leaving no questions unanswered. I was not overly fond of the portrayal of the syndicate, but it was at least amusing. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes mysteries with some humor mixed in :-)
