Timothy Waverly calls himself an Applied Probabilities Analyst--a fancy name for gambler, and a cheat to boot. He's come to Traverse city--dump-site of his worst memories--for some much-needed rest. Instead, he buffs heads with a stiletto named Shadow, a Big Foot named Gleep, a seductress called Midnight, and a throng of coke-dealing hotheads who spell relief d-e-a-t-h.
The result is a highly acclaimed debut that already marks Tom Kakonis as a must-read ringer among today's boldest innovators of suspense fiction.
