World Series of Murder

The prequel -- of sorts -- to Vorhaus's Radar Hoverlander novels, World Series of Murder introduces us to Radar's lovable, hapless, flaky sidekick Vic Mirplo, as he joins forces with poker goddess Megan Moore and obsessive collector Jim Rafferty to unravel a secret conspiracy to control the wealth of Las Vegas. Poker, murder, Mirplo...what's not to love?

Included as an added bonus is the novella Surf Las Vegas, which recounts Meg and Jim's first encounter, as they team up to defeat Vegas hard guy Jack "the Hack" Aldrete.

If you're a fan of poker and light mystery, humor and a brilliantly turned phrase, you'll be delighted with World Series of Murder.
