To solve Rhode Island's budget crisis, the state's bright colored governor, Attila the Nun, would like to legalize sports gambling, but her plan has unexpected consequences. Organized criminal offense, professional sports leagues, and other people who have too much to lose - or gain - if gambling is made legal flood the state with money to choose the votes of talk about legislators. Liam Mulligan, investigative reporter for The Providence Dispatch, would like to investigate, but his bottom-feeding corporate bosses at the dying papers have no affinity for serious reporting. So Mulligan runs rogue, digging in to the story by himself time. When a powerful talk about legislator turns up dead, an out-of-state handbag man gets taken, and his cash-stuffed briefcase runs missing, Mulligan sees himself the prospective of shadowy pushes who seek to derail his inspection by destroying his job, his reputation, as well as perhaps even his life. Bruce DeSilva's A Scourge of Vipers reaches once a suspenseful criminal offense story and a serious exploration of the hypocrisy adjoining sports gambling and the corrupting effect of a lot of money on politics.
