Cheaters: J.R. Carroll

Danny Gold's skill at the roulette table is noticed, and he's soon progressing from a nice little earner to making big bucks, laundering cash for enigmatic businessman turned porno movie maker Sigmund Barry - an offer to good to refuse. Robert Curlewis had the world at his feet, until booze and smack took it away. And he's inherited another desperado, Florence, but when she witnesses the vicious slaying of a young gambler in Melbourne's Chinatown, Robert's no longer wasting his life - he's trying to keep it. Throw in a wild card, a rogue Kiwi commando and you have a whole deck of cheaters.
