Publisher Marketing: GAMING THE MILLION - a crime action novel by Dragan Tupaic Gene Nielsen, kisses the wrong girl, the daughter of the Gypsy Copper King. Only his Russian adversaries, led by the billionaire Ivanov, could save him from losing his head to the jealous husband and father of the Gypsy girl. Instead, the Russians kidnap him, bring him to New York, and give him a chance to redeem himself by surviving the deadly Russian drift race, driving a super-speed car blindfolded. After he comes through that challenge, he's left penniless and alone in the mean streets of Manhattan, with the words of Ivanov ringing in his head: "You have 90 days to pay back the million dollars you stole from me. And, you must steal it!" Without money he drifts from hostel to hostel until he meets another penniless survivor. With the Russians' deadline hanging over Gene's head, the two have plenty of motivation to find a get-rich-quick scheme. Between channel-surfing the hostel's TV, and the road trip they take to see part of America, they come up with the idea to scam the TV game shows. They scheme to steal a million by rigging a game show using beautiful girls and wireless technology. By concealing coded cell phones in strategic parts of the young ladies' anatomical structures, Gene and Charles plan to feed the answers to the girls via the cell phones' vibrations. Despite the hilarity that ensues on the game show stage, the scheme works. But Gene creates one last challenge, he wants to turn the tables on another Game Show. Gaming the Million is another exhilarating instalment in the Gene Nielsen series of action crime thrillers, which can be read and enjoyed in any order.
