About the Book
The Gambler's Game chronicles the extraordinary life of Bill Darnborough — from AAA baseball in the farmlands of Illinois, to running a roulette wheel in the California gold rush, to the bustle of Kansas City, St. Louis, and New York, before leaping the pond to break the bank at Monte Carlo. A fast-paced historical saga of ambition, romance, and the indomitable spirit of a man who defied the odds.
