A riveting, award winning mystery. Selected by Kirkus Reviews as one of the Best Indie Mystery Thrillers of the Year. Eddie must hunt down the killer of an old pal, who was a bookie with ties to the mob. The trail leads to an exclusive gambling club, where high rollers and competing bookies want him out of the picture. A classic whodunit thriller.

Before the legalization of sports betting in the United States, when a mob-connected bookie is murdered, Eddie O'Connell, a small time gambler and Chicago bartender, must find the killer. Assisted by both Paula "Rudi" Rudinger, the manager of the bookie's operation, and Eddie's uncle, a former homicide detective, Eddie must walk a fine line among the cops, the Kelso Club's high rollers, and a local crime boss who only cares about the upcoming football season. Each faction wants Eddie out of the way, but he won't quit until he gets justice for his old friend.
