Burke's Gamble

by William F. Brown

FBT review:

In Burke’s Gamble, a high-octane indie thriller, “Ocean’s Eleven” collides with “The Punisher” on the Atlantic City Boardwalk. When Bob Burke’s old Army buddy mysteriously “falls” from a casino balcony owned by the Gambino and Lucchese crime families, Burke wants answers—and payback. A former Special Forces Major with a talent for unconventional justice, he dives into a deadly world of mob money, rigged games, and ruthless enforcers where the house always wins…until he sits down at the table.

Perfect for fans of fast-paced, character-driven action thrillers and indie suspense novels, Burke’s Gamble (Book #2 in the Bob Burke series) delivers sharp dialogue, dark humor, and nonstop twists that will keep you turning pages late into the night.

Publisher Description:

A high-stakes thriller where "Ocean's Eleven" meets "The Punisher" on the Atlantic City Boardwalk. The house always wins—unless Bob Burke is at the table. Book #2 of the Bob Burke action-thriller series.
When an old Army buddy takes a five-story header off the balcony of a casino owned by the Gambinos and Luccheses, two of New York's most ruthless crime families, Bob Burke wants to know why, who’s responsible, and who’s going to pay. Sergeant First Class Vinnie Pastorini had survived six tours in Iraq and the high mountain valleys of Afghanistan, as Major Burke had, and Vinnie didn’t come home to bleed out on an Atlantic City sidewalk.
