About the title
Jim Bennett is a reckless guy. By day he's a brilliant writer and excellent teacher, by night — an inveterate gambler. He is deeply entangled in a world where the law means nothing, and one day he bets everything, including his own life. Those he owes are dangerous, and only someone even more dangerous can help him. Does a man who has lost himself deserve a second chance? And if so, how much will it cost him?
