Monroe Gray is a Vietnam veteran and DC attorney eking out a living representing low-level criminals. When a high-stakes casino licensing bid in St. Louis pulls him into the world of backdoor deals and deadly games, Monroe finds himself entangled in a web of murder, betrayal, and corruption that stretches from the underbelly of city politics to the Halls of Congress. As powerful figures vie for control, old ghosts resurface, and Monroe's curiosity proves to be his greatest weakness-one that may cost him everything.
In the swirling storm of bribery, greed, and ambition, Monroe finds himself between two powerful forces-a ruthless gang of men who will stop at nothing to claim wealth and influence, and three formidable women, each with secrets of their own. As these players collide in a high-stakes game, Monroe's path to redemption is blocked by shifting loyalties, hidden agendas, and the haunting realization that his circle of trust is virtually nonexistent. Set in 1993,
No Room in Paradise
is a gripping tale of political intrigue, revenge, and the price of temptation.
