Publisher's summary

Winner of the 2019 Dashiell Hammett Prize for Literary Excellence in Crime Writing!

One-time socialite Maud Warner polishes up the rags of her once-glittering existence and bluffs her way into a signature New York restaurant on a sunny October day. When she shoots Sun Sunderland, the "Pope of Finance", as he lunches with "accountant to the stars" Burt Sklar - the man she's accused for years of stealing her mother's fortune and leaving her family in ruins - she deals the first card in her high-stakes plan for revenge.

Maud has grown accustomed to being underestimated and invisible, and uses it. Her fervent passion for poker has taught her that she can turn weakness into strength to take advantage of people who think they are taking advantage of her. It's uncanny how she reads them.

Her intimates in New York high society believe that "Mad Maud" accidentally missed Sklar, her real target. But nothing is as it first appears as she weathers the unexpected while following her script. And while Maud is on the run, the dark secrets of men who believe their money and power place them above the law will be exposed. Betrayal, larceny, greed, sexual battery, and murder lurk beneath the surface of their glittering lives.

One unexpected twist after another follows as we watch a fierce, unapologetic Maud play the most important poker hand of her life. The stakes? To take down her enemies and get justice for their victims. Her success depends on her continuing ability to bluff. And on who will fold.

Can she win?

Very entertaining and satisfying!

The characters are well-developed and the twists were very solid! I did not see most of them coming. This story has an extremely satisfying ending that is even better than I had hoped. Aside from one small storyline, (poor kitty :( ) I’d highly recommend this book!

Unexpected

Good listen, kept the twists going to the very end. A well written book, and an absolute gem in the freebie pile! Worth the time and kept my interest the entire way! I'm glad I took a chance on it, now I have to see if she's written anything more...!
