High-stakes crime at Ohio's Newest Fantasy Casino
Just outside Wellspoint, Ohio, The Fantasy Casino markets itself as a slick, crypto-driven playground where you can bet on anything—from fantasy sports lineups to algorithmically generated side games. But behind the curated glamour and digital chips, someone is running a much darker operation.
As Jack fights to stop the killers, every move forces him to contain the beast inside before it destroys his closest allies. With the help of Sarah, a brilliant, unorthodox computer forensics analyst, he must unravel a conspiracy buried beneath the casino's bright lights, one that could cost him his city, his lover and his soul.
A gripping crime thriller of deception, power, and survival, The Fantasy Casino Murders delivers relentless suspense for fans of Michael Connelly, James Rollins, and Daniel Suarez.
Will Jack Stewart outplay a system rigged by tech and corruption or become its next casualty?

Jack Stewart’s world
