Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
A math genius, a tough courtroom adversary and an even tougher judge make the 11th legal thriller in the Nina Reilly series (Unlucky in Law, etc.) the most intriguing yet. Back in Lake Tahoe, Nina gets her next case from a masseuse whose aunt was killed during a motel robbery. Unless Nina acts, the lawsuit filed against the Ace High Lodge will be dismissed, as no one has been able to locate the witnesses. Reluctant to call on ex-lover PI Paul van Wagoner for help, Nina hires her assistant's PI son, Wish, who discovers that the witnesses are MIT students with a sideline counting cards. While the old case takes on new life, people connected to it are threatened and worse. O'Shaughnessy (lawyer Pamela and editor Mary O'Shaughnessy) takes the reader inside the beautiful mind of emotionally immature, occasionally delusional, quantitatively inspired Elliott Wakefield as he solves equations, cares for his father and plays blackjack. In thrillers as in math proofs, neatness counts. Here, the Internet and national security bring Elliott's story to an almost too-neat conclusion, while Nina ingeniously solves the problem of replacing Paul in her personal life. As always, O'Shaughnessy keeps legal procedure straight, language crisp and plot consistently absorbing.

From AudioFile
Prime number theory and card counting add up to murder in Lake Tahoe. In this audiobook, O'Shaughnessy and Merlington both achieve five-star ratings. The plot is taut, the legal procedures accurate, the language crisp, and the dialogue lively enough to make the listener feel like a voyeur. Merlington's laugh is pure delight, her character voices unique. She provides a sleepy voice with an accent that takes the "r" way inside the mouth for one character, a voice-cracking delivery for a dorky math genius who can card count and win thousands in the casinos, and a learned sound for a Sanskrit scholar who makes irrational numbers and transfinites totally fascinating.
