YABig Bet series.
Jason Jorgensen is the narcissistic leader of a crew of high-school con artists. As the gang pursues more risky challenges--from rigging poker games and professional basketball games to ultimately trying to scam the Mafia--loyalties are tested and the stakes skyrocket. This hi-lo series features quick-moving plots and snappy dialogue, but Jason's first-person narration is uneven and tends toward prosaic. Review covers these Big Bet titles: Bullseye, Checkmate, The Four Racketeers, Payment in Kind, Too Much Action, and Up the Stakes.
