Daniel McEvoy is an Irish ex-pat and now a bouncer at seedy Slotz, a New Jersey casino. McEvoy's friend, Zeb Kronski, has medical aspirations but no degree. That doesn't stop him from injecting fake Botox or performing liposuction. It's where Zeb injects the unwanted fat that magnifies the sassy, irreverent tone of this novel. Always a step ahead of the law, Zeb now transplants hair plugs for McEvoy and others.
Connie DeLyne is a hostess in the casino Dan works in and he has always had a soft spot for Connie.  But when he finds her dead with a dime-sized hole in her head, he becomes the prime suspect.  Detective Ronnie Deacon, investigates the homicide but McEvoy finds himself in an epic battle with her and her partner.

Now, Zeb has gone missing, but McEvoy finds himself having conversations with him and wonders if he is now a ghost or if they have some psychic connection.  Complicating matters is Irish Mike Madden, a fake Irishman as he has never been to Ireland, but controls rostitution, protection and a burgeoning crystal meth business" personify the Irish mafia.

If this story sounds complicated it is!  But I did find myself getting into the story and enjoying this crazy ride.
