Publisher's Synopsis
Paperback edition of rip-roaring crime thriller centred around the lives of four men whose poker school is abruptly interrupted when they apprehend and accidentally kill an intruder who has broken into the house. What follows is a descent into a maelstrom of violence that may cost them everything - their jobs, their families and ultimately their lives. Like John Grisham on bad acid, Gorman screws the tension to breaking point and beyond, creating a fusion between the dark suspense of noir fiction and the unease of horror. An unforgettable novel by an acknowledged master.
