Poker seems to currently be the hot topic for writers. Just after the first Indian poker fiction, ‘Gamble of Love’ written by author Shuklaji hit the shelves, another poker fiction has now been released. The novel titled ‘Final Table’ is written by Dan Schorr, a sex crimes prosecutor and investigator. Through this enthralling tale, Schorr takes his readers on a journey inspired by his experiences.
The book was launched on 5th October and got the entire poker and readers community talking about it. But what is it the book about? The Final Table has two main characters and is a political thriller novel. The first character is a broke professional poker player named Kyler who is desperate to try his hand at a $20 million prize pool tournament. However, the nation hosting the event is implicated in a murder of an American journalist. This results in a potential presidential order that could prevent Kyler and other US citizens from taking part in the lucrative tournament.
