Synopsis
It is very difficult to place this book in any one genre. In the beginning it was to be an expose of the gaming industry in Lake Tahoe, circa 1950's. But it turned into something that included romance, mystery and suspense. The story has enough twists and turns to make you feel that you were driving down Lombard Street in San Francisco. Just when you are certain you know who will appear and what were happen next, surprise, it doesn't.

Most clubs taught their own dealers. This was also long before anyone even thought of a mechanical shuffler for cards let alone used one on a regular basis. Sometimes it was a small class of one or two people and sometimes the class got as large as six at a time; this is an important historical note for people who believe that the way we do things today is the way we always did them. Small and medium sized clubs liked to hire people who were already trained, but some owners were more than happy to"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
