Card Player

“This is a high-stakes political story…a great purchase for all collections as it tackles some relevant political issues, the Me Too movement, and the growing incredibility of popular social platforms.”

Library Journal

“A captivating read and a suspenseful journey with a powerful payoff…. The disparate worlds of high-stakes gambling and international politics are artfully stitched together by writer Schorr, who commands obvious real-world expertise in both arenas. On every page, we’re treated not only to the credible true-to-life narrative but perceptive insights into what causes people to do what they do and act the way they act….What we observe through these imperfect characters is the essence of our own souls and the discovery of what makes us all tick.”

Nolan Dalla, author of One of a Kind: The Rise and Fall of Stuey The Kid Ungar, The World's Greatest Poker Player

“…a little crazy intellectual stimulation…this political thriller about sexual misconduct will not disappoint.”
