Publisher's Summary
Evoking the golden age of crime, and for fans of Raymond Chandler and Agatha Christie, comes A Gambling Man, from one of the world’s best-selling thriller writers, David Baldacci.
A lucky roll of the dice.
California, 1949. Aloysius Archer is on his way to start a new job with a renowned private investigator in Bay Town. Feeling lucky, he stops off at a casino in Reno, where he meets an aspiring actress, Liberty Callahan. Together, they head west on a journey filled with danger and surprises—because Archer isn’t the only one with a secretive past.
A risk worth taking.
Arriving in a town rife with corruption, Archer is tasked with finding out who is doing everything they can to disrupt the appointment of a top official. Then two seemingly unconnected people are murdered at a burlesque club. In a tight-lipped community, Archer must dig deep to reveal the connection between the victims.
All bets are off.
As the final perilous showdown unfurls, Archer will need all of his skills to decipher the truth from the lies and finally, to prove she’s a star in the making, will Liberty have her moment in the spotlight?
A Gambling Man is the second historical crime novel in David Baldacci’s Private Investigator Archer series, following the Sunday Times top five best seller One Good Deed.

Enjoyable and Suspenseful Read
A top-notch thriller in the second of the Aloysius Archer series by David Baldacci. In a quest for sustainable living, the protagonist en route to California takes a short stint in a small town of Reno, wherein he pairs up with an aspiring actress and takes possession of a vintage Delahaye convertible. On the way, they have a brief encounter with some local goons. His first assignment in California as an apprentice with one PI Willie Dash is a politically stirred up blackmail involving a well-connected businessman cum politician running for the post of mayor. The protagonist is confronted with a series of killings related to the blackmailing case that leaves him no clues to apprehend the perpetrator. However, his astute demeanor and indomitable temperament leads to a small crack in the case file, through which he percolates and starts to unravel a heinous web of secrets involving gambling, brothels, and thirst for power. What follows next is a meticulous sleuthing by the duo of Archer and Dash to unmask the mastermind behind this scandalous saga only to unearth some more skeletons from the closet. In this investigation, he is assisted and supported by his new lady companion who takes up a job in a bar in the same town. The protagonist, Archer is a man of principle, and from his unfortunate past has learned to be more receptive to the challenges to lead a respectable life in the new town. An exceptionally enjoyable and suspenseful read. A must-read for thriller buffs.
