But it would be unfair to the reader to reveal what happens when a
gang of professional crooks gets wind of the scheme and moves to
muscle in on this bettors' dream of a long-odds situation. Worked
out with all the meticulous detail, terror, and suspense of a
nightmare, the tale is, on one level, comparable to a Graham Greene
thriller; on another, it explores a group of people, their
relationships fears, and loves. For as Leslie A. Fiedler says in
his introduction, "John Hawkes.. . makes terror rather than love
the center of his work, knowing all the while, of course, that
there can be no terror without the hope for love and love's defeat
. . . ."
