I really liked this book better than Hell's Half Acre, the second novel. It basically involves the murder of a hostess and a gambler and the rangers, with Alex, investigate it. Walker chooses himself, C.D, Trivette, and a sheriff's deputy named Robin to go undercover on the illegal gambling boat and shut it down. A few nights later, another group of criminals takes everyone down for their cash. They plan to blow up the boat, and Walker must put a stop to this carnage.....
The best book in the series yet!

By book's end you "can't tell the players without a scorecard." That's because two groups of bad guys are involved, with our heroes in the middle.As for the characther development:1. The C.D./Jimmy scenes were great;2. The Walker/Alex scenes were good; hopefully they will continue to improve in QUANTITY as well as QUALITY--maybe the plot for Book #4 can be Alex-oriented?Two further notes:1. Mr. Reasoner STILL needs to start saying "CD's Bar & Grill";2. The shameless use of "Lone Wolf Cigars" was hilarious!!
