Synopsis
In this radical reworking of the story of the Fisher King, which is a part of the legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, a cycle of events begun in the late 1940s comes to a head nearly 50 years later as a number of people converge on the gambling metropolis that is Las Vegas for an epic game of poker that will leave most of them dead and only one crowned as king.

Publisher's Notes
First Line: "Georges Leon held the little boy's hand too tightly and stared up from under his hatbrim at the unnaturally dark noon sky."
Industry Reviews
"This is one those rare works of fiction that is so well crafted it requires frequent reality checks to convince oneself that the described world is not the real one. The novel is about one of the ageless fascinations of the human race with the waxing and waning of luck...Award-winning writer Tim Powers skillfully weaves gambler's superstitions, the Tarot, Bugsy Siegel, and a hundred other fragments into a masterpiece of psychological horror."
