Lawyer Rick Redman decides it is time to make a career change. Murder can do that to a guy. A beautiful woman offering a substantial cash retainer makes it seem like a good idea too. But when he loses the cash in a poker game and he ends up in Nevada, he has no choice but to try to recoup the lost money at the World Series of Poker. And when his brother-in-law turns up dead, it becomes clear the stakes are higher than he expected.

"Combine the World Series of Poker in Vegas, a mysterious client with legs that go on forever, and a lawyer-turned-PI who’s obsessed with the aromas lingering in every cab he takes, and you have author Grant McCrea’s Drawing Dead. . . . The storytelling is fast-moving, the rapid-fire dialogue is tinged with noir humour and the insights behind playing that elusively perfect poker hand are entertaining and obsessive."
— The Hamilton Spectator

“[The character of] Redman, for all his flaws, has a soul that he has not sold to anybody. Maybe that is what makes him fascinating . . .”
— Edmonton Journal

“The dialogue snaps and the characters click.”
— The Globe and Mail
