This Isn't a Game: A Jackson Oliver Mystery
by David Moss - Fiction, Mystery

The VegasVegas online casino posts entertainment propositions like “American Idol,” political elections and celebrity trials. VegasVegas customers don't want to bet on speeding tickets or misdemeanor theft. They want murder. The movie director Andrew Marvel is on trial for murdering his wife, Audrey, in their summer home. Most VegasVegas customers know a sure thing when they see one and bet on conviction. But a local bettor puts $500 on dropped charges at 125 to 1 odds. Two days later, an unshakable alibi surfaces, proving the movie director couldn't have murdered his wife. All charges are dropped. The casino owner, Jackson Oliver, suspects the bettor of involvement in the murder, making the bet fraudulent. Before he pays out the winnings, Jackson goes to Vermont to investigate.
