Skim Deep

 

A super fun Hard Case Crime written by Max Allan Collins. I don't know why I haven't read more of Collins's books, I always enjoy them. 

At any rate, Nolan has retired from the biz (hit man, robbery, all around general bad guy) and asked his long time girlfriend Sherry to marry him. They go to Las Vegas to tie the knot, and end up getting unwittingly involved in a plot to skim money off the top of a mobbed up casino. The actual perpetrators of the crime want to frame Nolan, but Nolan has other ideas. 

Once he extracts himself and his new bride from that mess, they head home and discover the brother of a guy Nolan killed is out for revenge. Unfortunately for him, he's a bit of a bumbler and Nolan has no trouble neutralizing the threat.
