Kilimanjaro Joseph Baskin

More than a casino, Kilimanjaro is an icon, a tribute to a different time in Las Vegas. But times are changing and now Kilimanjaro is fighting for relevance as its aging owner pursues a smooth succession in the face of financial trouble. Looking for an edge, the casino hires Jojo Black as its in-house psychiatrist, hoping he can profile big gamblers and tilt the tables in Kilimanjaro's favor. But Jojo has his mind on other things including his girlfriend, a gambling addiction, and a scheme to game the Super Bowl. Sibling rivalry, shifting alliances, loan sharks, and sports gambling clash in this race to secure the legacy that is Kilimanjaro. It is a story of ambition, jealousy, grandiosity, and overreach. It is also about loyalty, love, equilibrium, and aspiration. Set at a fast pace and riddled with humor and humanity.
