Book Description
The sights, sounds, and smells began to awaken John's senses, long subdued by hospital confinement. I am alive, John thought as he inhaled deeply as if to speed the process. Unravel the mystery in Freida Fail's heart-pounding debut, Ace Deuce. A suspenseful blend of mystery and intrigue, this complex thriller pits a group of truth seekers against authorities ravaged by greed and revenge. After stumbling across a comatose man in the middle of the road, the French ambassador to Niger takes the man, whom he begins to call John, to his own estate to recover upon his release from the hospital. While under the watchful eye of the French ambassador, John begins experiencing painful flashbacks when he glimpses a sign reading “Ace Deuce, Ltd.” in a uranium mine. As word spreads of the mysterious amnesiac, Chance Bradford, chief counsel of the world's largest defense contractor, begins to suspect that he may in fact be her missing twin brother—and CEO of the company—Josh Bradford. His reunion with Chance only further confuses him as she reveals a phone call from the day after Josh disappeared that indicated a threat to national security. Will John and Chance discover the truth before it's too late? And what exactly is Ace Deuce, Ltd.? There's only one way to find out…

Book Description
The theme of this book is a Tour de Noir of a gamblers life. Written in the third person, it describes the successes and eventual downfall of a young hustler. The book extensively describes gambling situations, cheating moves, scams against casinos and casino methods of cheating players. Heretofore unpublished, and possibly unknown even to law enforcement, are the conspiracies and actions of notorious Nevada cheating crews. Gambling on golf, backgammon, gin rummy and poker, and methods employed to take advantage of opponents, are extensively discussed. The early chapters are moments in present time followed by reflection of the protagonist on his past and maturation, development of an exculpatory personal philosophy, love interest (explicit sex) and sexual encounters. His interactions with the Mafia, famous gamblers like Titanic Thompson, and present day high-rollers are authentic. Throughout his adventures the humor and irony in life situations are captures.
