To everyone he's every played dice with, Mitch Corley seems like the
luckiest guy around. But in truth, Corley's fast hands are the only gift
fate's ever given him. He's never held down a steady job, and when it
comes to women, his luck might just be the worst of all -- his
girlfriend and partner-in-crime Red would double-cross him in a
heartbeat if she knew just how short on cash they really were. And if
Red ever finds out about the wife Corley neglected to mention, there's a
good chance that Corley might not survive the night.
At first, Mitch was sure Texas would be the perfect place for him and
Red to run their game -- there are players in nearly every back room and
side-street across the state and here, the pockets run just a little
deeper. But Corley forgot about one thing: Texans don't forgive easily.
And there's nothing they hate more than a cheater.
