One video. Sixty-five million dollars. A predator who never loses.

Crawford has read defenses his whole life. Former NFL quarterback. Las Vegas homicide detective. Now he's a PI with $1,800 in his bank account and $4,200 in bills due in ten days.

When attorney Marcus Fein offers him a retainer for an urgent client, Crawford takes the case. The client is Darius Keane, the Raiders' new star receiver, fresh off a $120 million contract extension and currently being extorted. Someone has a video of him in a VIP booth at XS Nightclub. Cocaine. Three women who aren't his pregnant fiancée. 

Crawford follows the trail to a professional extortion operation six years in the making. Multiple victims. Over a million dollars. A perfect record. The woman behind it has never lost, and she's not planning to start.

In a city designed for the house to win, Crawford has five days to change the conditions.
