Sinker thrusts us into the story of Baker Forley. He begins the
novel as a sweet, unassuming Irish man who is revealed to be a
promising newcomer to the world's most controversial sport -
professional drinking. Ambition fuels his talent as he strives to
make something of his life, but he is plagued by worries that he
could die from his job, through alcohol poisoning. Frequent
fatalities occur, as players often drop dead during games. When his
popularity lands him a spot at the infamous Bullfight competition
in sun-baked Mallorca, Baker believes that his luck has turned. But
when his drunken eye is drawn to a Saudi beauty, her bodyguard
steps over and floors him. The bodyguard's boss - a Saudi oil baron
- invites Baker to his magnificent, surreal, Gaudi-designed palace
to hear an apology. Baker - joined by his over-ebullient coach
Ratface - gets an offer he can't refuse: "Teach the crazy
billionaire Sheikh to drink like a pro and in turn he'll make you
rich." Later, as illicit lust flares between Baker and the oil
baron's sober wife; he learns the real reason why he has been asked
along. It's a set up, and he's about to be framed for killing a
Sheikh. After three days of industrial-level drinking and dealing
with Ratface's random groping, can Baker break free?
