(2) YA Alton serves as his reputedly rich great-uncle Lester Trapp's "cardturner," telling Trapp what cards he has so the old man can make the right plays. Like bridge itself, the story is filled with secrets and bluffs, tricks and dummies in addition to intriguingly complicated kinship lines. Alton, an engagingly self-deprecating storyteller, does a good job of conveying the game's appeal.
