Most writers are fortunate to have a good editor in their corner. For this book, I had three editors helping me, the brilliant Jacque Ben-Zekry, the always patient Liz Pearsons, and the incomparable Kevin Smith. I would also like to thank my wife, Laura, whose enthusiasm has never waned. Brian Touhy, whose writing on sport fixing opened my eyes to an area of cheating that I knew little about. And to the crew of cheaters I met in Las Vegas who agreed to let me tell their story.
