This clever tale is about a 38 year old female poker player who is shot outside her home after winning over six thousand dollars. Detective Harry Bosch is convinced that her husband committed the murder, but how can he prove it?.

It is always fun and rewarding to read Harry Bosch regardless of whether he is the prime investigating detective for a full-length novel or a short vignette as in One-Dollar Jackpot. The cool analytical manner in which Bosch conducts an investigation, his ability to read a suspect’s mind and the patience he projects in pursuit of the truth are his outstanding personal attributes.
