Last Call
by Tim Powers

Description:
Ten years ago Scott Crane quit playing Poker professionally--and he hasn't been to Las Vegas or held a deck of cards since.

But now he is having nightmares about a strange Poker game that took place on a houseboat on Lake Mead in 1969. The game in which he won a fortune twenty-one years ago is, in a supernatural sense, not finished yet. The money he took home was actually in exchange for his life. . . and perhaps his soul. And there's one hand yet to be played, a last terrible bet to be called, and he will have to wager everything.

From the Poker clubs of Las Angeles through the mythic wasteland of the Mojave Desert to Bugsy Siegel's magical city of Las Vegas, Crane's odyssey leads him to one last Poker game, a game that involves Tarot cards and the souls of the players much more than the chips on the table.
