The theme of this book is a Tour de Noir of a gamblers life.
Written in the third person, it describes the successes and
eventual downfall of a young hustler. The book extensively
describes gambling situations, cheating moves, scams against
casinos and casino methods of cheating players. Heretofore
unpublished, and possibly unknown even to law enforcement, are the
conspiracies and actions of notorious Nevada cheating crews.
Gambling on golf, backgammon, gin rummy and poker, and methods
employed to take advantage of opponents, are extensively discussed.
The early chapters are moments in present time followed by
reflection of the protagonist on his past and maturation,
development of an exculpatory personal philosophy, love interest
(explicit sex) and sexual encounters. His interactions with the
Mafia, famous gamblers like "Titanic" Thompson, and present day
high-rollers are authentic. Throughout his adventures the humor and
irony in life situations are captures.
