Last Call

Book 1 of 1 in Fault Lines #1

1993

by Tim Powers

Set in the dazzling underworld of Las Vegas, Last Call follows the fate of Scott Crane, a former professional gambler and recent widower. Blind in one eye, Crane is drawn back into the world of high-stakes gambling when he discovers he is the lost natural son of a man determined to kill him.

Haunted by troubling nightmares of a strange poker game on a houseboat at Lake Mead—a game he believed he left as a big winner—Crane realizes that the mythic game did not end that night in 1969. The stakes are higher than ever, and the price of his winnings may be his soul.

In a gripping narrative that blends magic realism with thrilling suspense, Crane must resume the game of a lifetime and wager it all. As he crosses the Mojave Desert to his father's Perilous Chapel in Las Vegas, the ultimate poker duel awaits, with his soul hanging in the balance.
