THE HOST

A casino host is found dead in a private villa at the Meridian, one of the most exclusive hotels on the Las Vegas Strip. No forced entry. No witnesses. No obvious motive.

Detective Prem Pilot has forty-eight hours before the casino's lawyers, the surveillance team, and the money behind the whole operation start making the case disappear.

The victim knew everyone. He owed nothing. And somehow he ended up dead in a room only twenty-two people in the world had access to.

What Pilot finds beneath the surface is a world built on obligation, commission, and the quiet movement of money across borders. The whales. The hosts who service them. And the people who profit from both.

In Las Vegas, hospitality is a transaction. The Host is the second book in the Prem Pilot series.
