This second book about Denn Doyle follows the sixteen-year-old to the gritty, high-stakes casinos of Las Vegas. With only ninety-seven dollars and a broken heart, Denn must go small time if he wants to make a comeback. Jimbo, the unofficial eyes and ears of Vegas, narrates Denn's story. The intense, jargon-rich narrative ultimately asks: who's to say what constitutes winning? Glos.
