The Plot
Everyone simply knew him as "Harold,"
one of the many street people who wandered through Las Vegas near the casinos. He was seemingly a harmless, homeless person who elicited a smile and a muffled laugh whenever he was around – or so people thought.
No one would ever have imagined what would be found when he met an untimely end, hit by a speeding sportscar in front of
the Labachio Hotel and Casino while a shocked entourage of erstwhile
pseudo-entrepreneurs looked on in disbelief.
That’s when the
preconceived perceptions of Harold went through a traumatic
transformation. For, as police investigated, they discovered that “looks
are deceiving,” and that Harold was more than a mere avenue adventurer.
Who was Harold and why did he adopt his dilatory disguise? What was he
looking for as he wandered waywardly in the wind? And, was his death an
accident, or a premeditated plot that would have unexpected repercussions?
Only expert sleuthing would produce a winning hand, solve the case and
break the bank at the casino.
