An action packed, rough and tumble, large format illustration by Bruce Minney for the Michael Brett Book Bonus story The High Rollers, which graced the pages of Stag Magazine in August of 1967. A Las Vegas-based tale that promises to deliver “… motel shackups… Las Vegas goon-killers… girls with a top price on their bodies!…” as the cover slug reads. Excerpted from the 1967 pocket book An Ear For Murder, Stag Magazine offered such fare in serialized form for its readers that knew how to read.
