One–time professional gambler Scott Crane hasn't returned to Las Vegas, or held a hand of cards, in ten years. But troubling nightmares about a strange poker game he once attended on a houseboat on Lake Mead –– a contest he believed he walked away from a big winner –– are drawing him back to the magical city. Because the mythic game did not end that night in 1969. And the price of his winnings was his soul. And now a pot far more strange and perilous than he ever could imagine depends on the turning of a card.

This is a stunning alloy of myth, chaos theory, the tarot, and Las Vegas history. If you loved American Gods, I think you'll love this even more. Imagery that will imprint on your soul's retina and you'll start to see signs in the blowing of leaves. This goes on my favorites shelf.
