Dead Man's Hand Crime Fiction at the Poker Table
Author: Otto Penzler (Editor)
If ever a subject begged to be associated with crime it is gambling, writes Otto Penzler in his introduction to this collection of short stories set at the poker table and beyond. In Walter Mosley’s Mister In-Between, a bagman is sent to collect from a rigged poker game, but soon begins to wonder who the real mark is.

And a young woman learns how to bluff the hard way in Hardly Knew Her, by Laura Lippman. In these and others stories, aces of the mystery-writing world -- including Joyce Carol Oates, Alexander McCall Smith, Jeffery Deaver, John Lescroart, and others -- combine to form a winning hand.
