The felt is stapled to a folding table, the chips are stamped Bird-Man Poker, thirty grand is hidden under the dash of his blacked-out CRX, and the one player who guaranteed a full table just bailed.Ten years earlier he was thirteen, wearing corrective shoes, and not allowed to cross the road. His father ruled the house with the Bible and a belt. Then Arnold, the loudest kid on the bus, hustled him out of ten dollars and seventy-five cents flipping quarters, and Slade found a world where the odds did not matter at all.From the school bus to the pool halls, card rooms and bookie joints of 1980s Austin, Slade learns a new language, a new family and a new set of rules. He is the smartest man in any room, and he knows it. Wild Phil, the bookie who becomes the father he never had, knows that is exactly how smart men go broke.Everything Slade has built comes down to one night. And in this world, you've got to lose to win.For readers of Walter Tevis's The Hustler and The Color of Money. Texas Sharks, Book 1.…
