A card table can hide more than aces.
When Harlan Vex rides into a dusty cattle town, he finds a saloon full of whispers, a crooked poker game, and one dead man who knew too much. The local gamblers call it luck. Vex calls it murder.
The game is fixed, the law is bought, and every man at the table has something to lose. But Harlan Vex has never been the kind to fold when bullets start flying.
With a revolver in his hand and danger across the table, he sets out to expose the men behind the rigged game before they deal him his last hand.
In a town where cards are marked, loyalties are false, and death waits behind every door, Harlan Vex will have to play for keeps.
Because this time, the pot is paid in blood.
