About the Book

A man sets out for a night of gambling, yet ends up in a high-speed chase with a State Trooper that causes him to not be able to return home. During the night of gambling, he meets up with an old girlfriend from the past who believes he can win her a million dollars in a high-stakes poker game. First, they have to come up with the buy-in fee, and to do this, they have to play by the rules of a crooked small-town sheriff which puts them in the middle of an F.B.I. sting. From the very beginning, however, the C.I.A. has set them both up without anyone's knowledge, having their own plans for the money, should they win.
