Jimmy Spain is back. After the events of the first book, THE PICASSO FLOP, Jimmy and his protégé, Kat Landrigan, are competing in another World Poker Tour event in Niagara Falls. Among all the bizarre and crazy gamblers who will literally bet on anything, as well as poker players—such as a puppet, a woman who recites poetry between hands, and a Marilyn Monroe impersonator—Jimmy finds himself once again involved in a murder plot. Attempting to find a killer while concentrating on his cards turns out to be a daunting task, and ends up taking him on a wild chase across the Ontario side of the famous Falls.
