In 1888 in Victoria, Texas, for a simple job, a Chicago private eye
gets caught up in the poker game to end all poker games. Shannon, a
Chicago private detective, returns home to Galveston, Texas for a
wedding. Galveston’s new rabbi asks Shannon to find Nathan
Silverberg, gone missing along with a group of swindlers who claim
to be soliciting money for a future colony of Romanian Jewish
refugees. What seems to be a simple job soon pushes Shannon into
stranger territory. His investigations lead him to a malevolent
white-haired gambler, monstrous sand dune totems, and a group of
skull-headed poker players trapped in an endless loop of cards and
alcohol, who may be his only means to survive the business. With
The Silverberg Business, Robert Freeman Wexler has delivered a
gloriously strange hard-boiled tale that crosses genres and defies
expectations.
