Sypnosis
Alan “Nick” Nichols is living the Great Las Vegas Dream. An executive at Las Vegas’s biggest advertising agency, he has a fine home and family. Just as midlife rumblings of discontent are beginning to settle in, Nick suddenly hits the jackpot. Not in the lottery or at a slot machine, but by buying a Bigg Fizz soda with the winning bottle cap in a million-dollar basketball challenge.
Now Nick has four weeks to prepare for a life changing three-point shot during halftime at the NCAA regional finals in Phoenix. If he nails it, he goes home with a cool mil.
But in Las Vegas, sometimes it’s hard to tell good luck from bad.
Nick quits his job, dumps his cell phone, hires a coach, and rides the roller coaster of fame, stress, and unintended consequences. Finally, the big day arrives. He steps up to the three-point line…and that’s when things get really weird.
Money Shot, Brian Rouff’s second Las Vegas novel, firmly establishes him as one of the keenest observers of life in Sin City. Rouff is destined to do for southern Nevada what Carl Hiaasen has done for southern Florida.

Hell, I live in Las Vegas, and I like to play cards, shoot dice, and pull handles the same as the next sucker. I even drive to California for the occasional lottery ticket. But until recently, I'd never won a blessed thing, unless you count those time share calls, always around dinner, that start, "Mr. Alan Nichols, I'm happy to inform you that you're the lucky recipient of..." My personal-best hang-up time is 2.3 seconds. Read More
