Clutch Henderson wants nothing more in the world than to win the Las Vegas Poker tournament and walk away with the 8 million dollars, but even more so, he wants the gold link bracelet as a visible announcement of his win.  Clutch was raised by his Grandfather, who had won the tournament years ago. Unfortunately, he dies trying, as he literally has a heart attack in the last hand of the game. Now he is out to find a living person he can teach all his tricks to and get the bracelet vicariously.

Cash weaves a tale of obsession and intrigue that keeps the reader on the edge.  In addition, there are a few surprises in the story that add to the intensity of the tournament playoff.  A good read for a weekend or a rainy day!
