Revenge - an obsessive all-consuming thirst for revenge - is the theme of Tables Turned , set in Las Vegas and London. "Having lived in both these great cities, setting my latest thriller against a background of the shady side of casino life was a no-brainer," Douglas explains. "Casinos can provide huge enjoyment but suppose you , yes you , were cheated when playing roulette? Suppose too that you lost everything - that you were ruined, totally busted by the casino's fraud."

With his world collapsing around him, Dex needs help and involves Scotty Brannigan, a Las Vegas based Grand Prix racing driver to help him.

With this complex group, Dex races through time zones as the obsessive mission and fast action switches between London and Vegas, Scotland, Washington, the French Riviera, a Caribbean hideaway and Grand Prix races in Monaco, Spa in Belgium and the Brickyard at Indianapolis.
