Vegas runs on blood and blockchain. Nicky Marino collects both.
Nicky Marino didn't build the most exclusive club in Bitcoin Vegas by playing nice. He built it by knowing when to pour a drink, when to make a deal, and when to put a bullet in someone who deserved it.
Then a dead man shows up at his door with four aces in his hand.
The murder sets off a chain reaction that drags Nicky through stolen tech, dangerous alliances, and the kind of enemies who send messages written in bruises and blood. His people start getting hurt. His secrets start getting exposed. And somewhere behind all of it is a woman he hasn't seen in fifteen years—a woman who once loved him enough to shoot him and leave him with nothing.
Now she wants him back.
Nicky's going to find out why. Even if it kills him.
Aces and Blood is noir with the safety off.
