Risa Sheridan knows everything there is to know about gold -- its history, its secrets, its allure, its perils. Her boss, Shane Tannahill, owner of the ultrasuccessful Las Vegas gambling establishment the Golden Fleece, is addicted to the stuff. Now an ancient Celtic piece is being offered to Shane for his collection. But something about this particular artifact troubles Risa -- something about it says "stay away."

It is a voice that should be heeded but is not, and the artifact places Risa and Shane at the center of an insidious plot in the mad whirl and blinding glitter of Las Vegas.
