The Aussie Switch

By: Jerry Bader

Narrated by: Kent Sheridan

Horse trainers Davey and Pauly Cisco are looking for a fresh start in Southern California after wearing out their welcome in their native Australia. The Cisco twins are identical in looks but not personality. Pauly, like most horse trainers, pushes the envelope of acceptable practice, while his look-alike brother rips through regulations with regularity and abandon.

It didn't take long for the two brothers to hook up with a couple of con men: an expert computer hacker who likes e-gaming and a shyster stock promoter on the lookout for eager marks willing to blow their fortunes on a shady horse-betting consortium.

The one thing they didn't count on is an associate of Benson Yeung's Hong Mian triad: an ex-South Korean colonel who operates a crooked international gambling empire. Two corrupt confidence men, unethical twin horse trainers, and doppelgänger thoroughbreds add up to a combustible confluence of confusion, misdirection, and murder, with tentacles that twist their way through LA, Sidney, Hong Kong, Seoul, and Macau.
