A NOVEL BASED ON THE TRUE STORY OF THE MAN WHO BROKE THE BANK AT MONTE CARLO
In the twilight of the 19th century, as the Old West collides with the opulence of the Gilded Age, one man embarks on a journey that will redefine his life. The Gambler's Game is a captivating historical fiction saga that follows the extraordinary life of the Illinois-born baseball player turned high-stakes gambler. His audacious spirit leads him from the dust-chocked plains of Nebraska to the refined ambiance of English garden parties onto the allure of Belle Epoque Monte Carlo.
This romantic and fast-paced tale will transport you to a time when anything was possible, where dreams were chased and risks were taken.
Bill ultimately finds himself torn between his love of gambling and a woman who might make him give it all up. It is a story of self-discovery in a rapidly changing world.
Bill and Frances' characters are featured in the movie Downton Abbey: A New Era (Carnival Films, 2022).
