Tödlicher Einsatz (2007)
Schriftstellerin Carolyn Carver spielt ihrem Mann und ihrer Tochter heile Welt vor. Während sie vorgibt, an einem neuen Buch zu arbeiten, bringt sie an Spielautomaten das Familienvermögen durch. Als sie den Zauberkünstler Walter kennen lernt, scheint eine Glückssträhne zu beginnen. Bis Carolyn eines Tages, auf Walters Rat hin, alles setzt, was sie hat – und alles verliert. Auch Walter, der durch seine Kontakte zu Buchmachern einen heißen Tipp für ein Basketballspiel bekommen hat, verliert: Das Spiel geht anders aus, als vereinbart, weil der bestochene Spieler Godfrey Snow das Blatt in letzter Sekunde wendet. Zugunsten seines Bruders Clyde, der sich mit dem gewonnenen Geld aus dem Staub macht. Das Spielergebnis ist auch für den einflussreichen Buchmacher Victor eine böse Überraschung. Obendrein hat er Detective Brunner auf den Fersen, der dem verbotenen Glücksspiel ein Ende machen will. Oder ist der Hüter des Gesetzes vielleicht der größte Gauner von allen?
