Lucky Stiffs

Curiously suspicious over the mysterious circumstances surrounding
the accidental deaths of his paternal aunt and uncle, third-year
UCLA law student, Dillon (Jaeger) Dorin, uncovers evidence
suggesting possible conspiracy and murder. His aunt and uncle, who were
also his godparents, were winners of a sizable lottery jackpot; however, by
their untimely deaths, most of the funds had disappeared.
A series of explosions and violent murders have a seasoned U.S. marshal,
and an inexperienced IRS agent tracking a money laundering suspect whose
path crisscrosses that of Dillons research, drawing attention to Dillon, his
family, and friends, and sending them all fleeing hired assassins.
All the while, a plot is being developed by a sinister international banking
cartel to fix one of the nations largest multi-state lotto games.
Greed and power are the motives; but murder and mayhem chase our young
protagonist from the beaches of Los Angeles to the back alleys of storm-tossed
New Orleans. Along the way he discovers what true treasure is.
