This is a fun, light book,but probably only a reader who likes mysteries and plays poker would enjoy it.
dark and entertaining card crime stories
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
in this book you will find a full house of entertaining and DARKLY INSIGHTFUL, artfully crafted literary suspense and crime stories by an excellent group of writers who have clearly mastered the techniques of character development and lyrical language from the baser side of the human spectrum. no bluffing. joyce carol oates's "strip poker" is wonderfully suspenseful. "poker and shooter" is lots of dark fun. the story by walter mosely is one of the best stories I have ever read. not all of the stories are completely about the game, which makes it a lot more fun than it would be if the stories are exclusively about playing cards. highly recommended.
