The action-packed sequel to Ted Thackrey Jr.'s Edgar Award-nominated classic.

The Preacher, the ex-priest and Vietnam vet turned professional gambler, is playing in the highest stakes poker game ever dealt. His opponents are mobsters, arms dealers and terrorists. The jackpot is an atomic bomb. And if he loses, the entire city of Las Vegas will be dealt the Dead Man's Hand.

"The Preacher is distinctive and unique...with doses of subtle and sarcastic humor." Bookgasm

"This is a book that has a lot going for it. It has a noirish sensibility and some darn good writing." Bill Crider, the Anthony and Derringer Award-winning author of Outrage at Blanco
