Jessie Smith's uncanny grasp of mathematics drove her to become UCLA's youngest ever quantum physics professor. Her math skills also helped her develop into one heck of a Las Vegas poker player. But it's her street smarts that are put to the test when her purse is stolen on LA's skid row. The purse contains something belonging to the Mob, and Jessie risks her life roaming Bum Boulevard trying to get it back. To her surprise, the people she meets on the Boulevard are anything but bums. They might even save her life. Even so, time is running out for Jessie--and in more ways than one.
