Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A broke, disgraced pilot is recruited by a discreet handler who outfits him in money, clothes, and access-then gives one rule: from now on, he must be a consistent loser. His job is to look rich, careless, and irresistibly exploitable, shedding cash in public games until the right observers decide he fits a certain profile. Chicago's backrooms and club floors reward performance as much as luck. Crooked dice, staged etiquette, and polite conversation mask a system built to sort victims from threats. The more convincingly he plays the fool, the more he feels unseen eyes measuring his instincts and his nerve. When a private invitation finally comes, it isn't a compliment-it's a doorway into a higher game where walking away is not guaranteed. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
