Loaded Dice is the fourth book in this fine series by James Swain that features his fictional character Tony Valentine, a retired Atlantic City cop who helps casinos catch gambling cheats. Tony is a tough, yet likeable, street- (and casino-) smart kind of guy with a terrific intuitive sense about cheaters and scam artists, honed during his years policing Atlantic City’s casinos. Soon after he and his beloved wife retire to Florida, his wife dies. To keep occupied, Tony starts a consulting firm named Grift Sense to serve the legitimate gambling industry. "Grift sense" is a hustler’s term for someone who has a special knack for picking out cheaters. And casinos pay Tony big bucks to help them catch cheats who have fooled their in-house security staff and surveillance devices.
