MARCO "MACK" LUCERO
Mack has been Nicky Marino's best friend since before either of them had two nickels to rub together—and he's been a liability for almost exactly as long. He walks into every room with a shit-eating grin, a worn leather jacket, and the kind of easy charm that makes people trust him five minutes before they should.
He knows everyone, connects everyone, facilitates everything. That's his gift and his curse: Mack opens doors that should stay shut and introduces people who should never meet. His fingers are the stickiest in Vegas—a self-taught sleight-of-hand artist who can lift a wallet without you ever feeling a thing. He is fiercely loyal, catastrophically careless, and perpetually one bad decision away from getting everyone he loves killed. The worst part? He knows it. And he does it anyway.
