Last Call
This brilliant, award-winning masterwork of change, cards, and destiny is back with a breathtaking new look." A novel of the supernatural and occult that is as hard-boiled, seamy, and suspenseful as the best film noir."--Tom Robbins. Reissue. One-time professional gambler Scott Crane hasn′t returned to Las Vegas, or held a hand of cards, in ten years. But troubling nightmares about a strange poker game he once attended on a houseboat on Lake Mead -a contest he believed he walked away from a big winner-are drawing him back to the magical city. Because the mythic game did not end that night in 1969. And the price of his winnings was his soul. And now a pot far more strange and perilous than he ever could imagine depends on the turning of a card. About The Author Tim Powers is the author of numerous critically acclaimed works of speculative fiction, including Last Call, Expiration Date, Earthquake Weather, and The Anubis Gates.
