The Cincinnati Kid

Angebote / Angebote:

Excerpt from The Cincinnati Kid: A NovelIt had started out as fooling around and then, as happened so many times, it developed into a game. The others began to drop in and a gig was working. It was nickel-and-dime stuff as long as it was The Kid and The Shooter and Pig, but when Carey and Carmody came in, both of whom bet the Cardinals and had won nicely over the weekend double-header, the play moved, deceptively, from nickel-and-dime to a quarter and a half and then wide open.It was Wednesday now, eleven in the morning. The game, like an endlessly circling bird, moved with a slow inexorable pace toward the center pot of money that grew magically with each dealt hand, revolving hands of cards, accompanied with a musi cal comment of silver upon silver tossed into center of the table as the chant was heard, so soft as to be a litany calling on ghostly assistance and deliverance.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
