Life was a game of both skill and luck, and he&’d made his way to the big city seeking his chance to be a winner.Before long he was moving between bars, backrooms, brothels—anywhere a man could gamble. Then he met a seductive woman named Lorry, who was playing a game of her own, and she wasn&’t about to let any rules get in her way . . .
