Hornbyesque with a touch of Nick Cave's Grinder Man album thrown in ... a hilarious expose of the insane levels of competition between blokes (Daily Mail)
You need know nothing about cards to relish the scabrous black comedy of five such men and their monthly game in Tom Campbell's scintillating debut novel ... he echoes the precise, unbridled nastiness of early 1980s Martin Amis (Metro)

A highly entertaining first novel (Oxford Times)
Campbell's sentences have a snap to them ... He makes you want to read the next page. It's as simple as that (Guardian)

While Vijay meticulously records every win and loss on his spreadsheet, and Alan frets about his propensity to break into sweat and his inability to get his wife pregnant, Nick becomes obsessed with the idea of engineering Doug's downfall: Doug, who with his big house, his successful business and his appalling taste is both everything that Nick aspires to and resents. Convinced of the heroic nature of his task, he aims to triumph over Doug in poker, as well as in life, and in doing so he comes into troubling proximity to Sophia, Doug's clever and beautiful wife ...
