Barbara D'Amato: Hard Luck

From the Publisher
Cat Marsala investigates the mysterious suicide of a state lottery official - and becomes a target of an odds-obsessed killer.

"In the fast and furious final action, the small but feisty Marsala is on her own in eluding and then capturing a ruthless killer. D'Amato's descriptions of state lottery problems and procedures are factual and fascinating, and her characters - both series regulars and lottery folk - are lively and believable. Odds are most readers will enjoy Hard Luck; it's definitely a winning number." (Booklist)
