Trailer for Rats of Las Vegas by Lisa Pasold

http://www.lisapasold.com
The book-trailer for RATS OF LAS VEGAS... culled off the web from old footage from the era - there is 1930's Granville St. in Vancouver, under construction, and I like the hands of the dealer - her fingernails are polished and gleaming... must have taken hours to find that perfect shot of a lady dealer that fits so well with the book......

RATS OF LAS VEGAS features Millard Lacouvy, a short, plain, fiercely independent girl who is a prodigy in the male world of poker. Millard learns her craft in Depression-era Vancouver and then graduates to high stakes games on the Canadian Pacific Railway. When the trains fail to satisfy either her ambition or her needfor security, she goes to Bugsy Siegels Las Vegas. There, her talent with cards brings her a new kind of amily. But she is haunted by the handsome conman she has known all her life, and she learns that love can also be a game of chance. Along the way, Pasold gives us a rich and convincing historical portrait of Vancouver and Vegas in the 1940s.
