Zach Perry is in trouble. He got caught up in a most dangerous game in the flood tunnels beneath the streets of Las Vegas—a high-stakes game he played and lost. Unable to back his wager, he is held captive in that dank underworld prison by ex-casino workers, their hired muscle, and their mysterious associates known as The Weathermen. The tortures his captors inflict are difficult to endure. Zach’s only companions are a rookie prostitute and ghosts of the past. But worse is to come. Candlelight comes in from the far end of the tunnel, and the drip-drip-drip of water and blood is interrupted by the tap-tap-tap crescendo of his keeper’s boots.
