Caribbean Hustle

It had been only a couple of years ago when he had it all. He started a charity blessed Bingo and Card room which he had parlayed into a hugely successful Internet gaming site. Then more good fortune followed: a beautiful new wife, the God daughter of mob boss Mickey Spinello and the sale of his gambling operations for a cool ten million. He had the golden touch. Unfortunately though, Chance forgot two truisms: fate is fickle and Dame fortune can be a bitch. Chance had been a player all his life. Right from when he was pitching pennies closest to the wall as a ten year old. He had been a risk taker and he had always kept "Rollin dem bones." So when he received the sale proceeds that made him a millionaire, instead of kicking back and putting his feet up, he took the cash and began playing in the biggest casino in the world: Wall Street. Unfortunately his foray coincided with the most severe economic downturn since the Great Depression of the 1920's. His $10,000,000 became dust in the rear view mirror.But he had a couple of things going for him. His wife had hung in there with him, and he had his contacts. Contacts that he had built and respected on the way up, so when things turned ugly and turned down, he still felt at least some of them might stake him in a comeback. All he needed was a "new horse to ride"¿a new game¿a new venture. So when he learned a hurricane-ravaged hotel, casino, and golf resort in the Caribbean was available, he thought it was a heaven sent opportunity. Along the way, they run into golf and casino cheating, money laundering, kidnapping, and a host of true life characters who have their own extraordinary stories. There is also murder. But who did it, when and why, are all questions that must be answered.Filled with gambling, romance, and humor, "Caribbean Hustle" is the stunning semiautobiographical sequel to author Douglas Beatty's "It's Always a Game".
