Solitaire Series #0.5
Forty-Five: The First Deal
When it comes to gambling, this organization is serious.
From card counters to those who owe gambling debts, Solitaire isn't about forgiveness or letting things slide. Not unless there is some kind of benefit for them.
But for the people on the other side of the table, the game is about survival and making their way in a hostile world.
But the game runs deeper than that.
Secret codes, cards that provide access, and even decks with secret messages inside all show that Solitaire is more than a gambling consortium, more than a debt collection agency, and will do anything to keep their operation going.
And when it comes to standing up against them or trying to get out. gamblers need to remember one thing.
The house always wins. Always.
Read the first seven stories in the series and find out what everyone is talking about today!

Forty-Five: The First Deal (The Solitaire Compilations Book 1), my twenty-fourth read from author Troy Lambert, the first seven books of his Solitaire Series, a 29 book series. This book caught my attention in the opening pages & I never put it down until completed about an hour later. A must-read. I look forward to reading more in this series & from this author as they're published. .“I received a Kindle copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review." The gifting of this book did not affect my opinion of it. RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).
