High Card

From the Cover: On the Barbary Coast there are a hundred ways to die, A thousand ways to lose and a woman to show you every one!!!! Faro Blake always liked coming back to San Francisco. The city was booming, the gambling action was fast and profitable, and there was ample opportunity to learn the mysterious ways of the orient with Chinatown's Sing-Song girls. But that was before he ran into a slinky millionairess with an overactive imagination and a soft spot for opium. Not to mention her fast-living Frenchman fiance, or those hot diamonds, those cold-blooded murders, or the two lunatics who were out to kidnap Ulysses S Grant! Sometime Faro might settle down someplace nice and quiet. But not this time.
