Dead Man's Hand

* 15 hours and 1 minute *

Hit the jackpot with stories from Michael Connelly, Laura Lippmann, Walter Mosley, Alexander McCall Smith, and more superstars of mystery. This is the best hand of crime short stories you will ever be dealt.

With the contributors taking their inspiration from the card game that's more a way of life than an innocent pastime, there are no stories here that you'll want to sit out. Here are tales of games you'll wish you were part of... and games that you'd go to the ends of the Earth to avoid being dealt into.

In "One Dollar Jackpot", Michael Connelly's curmudgeonly Harry Bosch finds himself going toe-to-toe with a professional poker player. Jeffery Deaver offers up "Bump", a tale of a has-been actor trying to make it big by hustling cards. "Hardly Knew Her", by Laura Lippmann showcases a young woman learning about bluffing the hard way, while "In the Eyes of Children", by Alexander McCall Smith features a scam at a poker table on the high seas.

With these, and more offerings from mystery greats such as Joyce Carol Oates, John Lescroart, Walter Mosley, Peter Robinson, and Eric Van Lustbader,
'DEAD MAN'S HAND'
is a suspenseful anthology that's a big winner for any fan of crime fiction.
