Publisher's summary

"One of my favorite new mystery series, perfect escapism."—Sarah Weinman, National Post

The first book of an electrifying new series, Ian Hamilton's The Disciple of Las Vegas introduces Ava Lee: a deadly martial artist with a taste for luxury and a mind like a steel trap.

Fifty million dollars has disappeared into thin air from the accounts of one of the richest men in the Philippines, Tommy Ordonez. His one hope is Ava Lee—sleek, capable forensic accountant and sleuth. With the help of her Triad-connected partner, Uncle, Ava follows the money trail from San Francisco to Costa Rica to the casinos and illegal gambling dens of Las Vegas. Meanwhile, a vengeful adversary from Ava's past has put out a contract on her life, and the shadowy hit man is close at her heels every step of the way. Will Ava recover the stolen cash without stepping into the crosshairs of a growing list of enemies?

Critic reviews

“Hamilton makes each page crackle with the kind of energy that could easily jump to the movie screen....This riveting read will keep you up late at night. It may also make you look twice from now on at any woman wearing pointy shoes.” —Rachel Kramer Bussel, Penthouse

“Formidable...Ava Lee is unbeatable at just about everything....She's perfect.” —Toronto Star

“Ian Hamilton makes the global search for hidden money as thrilling as James Bond fleeing down a snowy slope on one ski. Ava Lee is tough, fearless, quirky, and resourceful, and she has more---well, you know---than half a dozen male detectives I can think of. Ian Hamilton knows his stuff, and he has created a true original in Ava Lee.” —Linwood Barclay, author of No Time for Goodbye

Good, unique in some ways.

I was pleasantly surprised by this book. I will continue and read some more in the series, just downloaded book 2. I think if you enjoyed this book, you would also enjoy two series by Barry Eisler, the John Rain Series and the Livia Lone Series.
