Drawing Dead

by Kendric Neal

Neely Thomas was used to losing. Compulsive gamblers learn how to handle it—his kids' college funds depleted, a final ultimatum from his wife, his life near bottom—but then a moment's inattention, checking the football scores instead of keeping his eyes on the road, and a traffic accident leaves an innocent boy dead. The punishment for his crime? A winning streak so relentless it won't end until his lies are exposed and he's lost everything he ever loved.
