Counting cards isn't illegal. It's just that card counters, especially those acting as a team, aren't very popular with casinos.

At least that what Alex thinks when, ruled more by heart than head, he's persuaded by the beautiful Alice Kim to join her and her friends on a trip to play blackjack in Connecticut. He joins the team and things go well for a while. His tuition debt becomes a thing of the past but when things go wrong at a small casino it's Alex who is selected to cash in both the chips and his masculinity so that the outing isn't a total financial loss to the team.

Suddenly Alex's life becomes more complicated than he had ever imagined. Against a background of gambling, violence and intrigue he struggles with his identity, his friendships and his place in society.

This is a novel of flawed characters who often do the wrong things while trying to do the right ones and dubious ones who have no intention of doing the right thing ... ever. Read it to find which is which.

Thanks to Geoff for the Synopsis :)

Note: This story is complete. Here's an ePub version. If you want to read it the way it was intended to be read, like a novel rather than a serial, that might be your best bet.

As far as I know, Big Closet can't host .mobi files, which is what you need to read on a Kindle. If you want a .mobi, please email me at [email protected] and I'll mail you one. Please understand it might take me a day or so - I don't check that account every day.

Many thanks to Geoff (especially to Geoff, without whom my writing would meander wildly and be full of split infinitives), and to I.O. and Wren for editing and proofing. It's not a small task to undertake on a story this long, and I very much appreciate them taking the risk with this story.

Thanks also to Jayne and Liz for assistance with the Japanese translations.
