An international crime cartel is flexing its muscles. The Russian-backed Israeli mob known as the Malina kidnaps the daughter of one of the most powerful Mafia dons in the United States and proceeds to turn the last hours of the young Angelina Capezi's life into a living hell.

In an explosive second round, the Malina seize a Las Vegas hotel owned by the dead girl's father, "Crazy" Carlo Capezi. The ransom: three million dollars. The ultimatum: pay up, or watch the bomb-rigged hotel turn into a twisted concrete-and-glass gravestone for a thousand bodies.

In the steamy neon jungle of Las Vegas, Dan Track plays a high-stakes game with a deadly new force of evil. He's betting the limit and knows there's only one way to win- The Hard Way.
