Description

A disparate group of travellers meets by chance at a motel while on the way to the National Bridge Finals in Canterbury, Florida. Naturally they begin swapping stories. Sound familiar? Professor Silver returns in a new collection of short stories, in which literary parody is interwoven with Tim Bourke's brilliant bridge hands. Murder, mystery, sex and the supernatural - and that's just in the first three tales. The genre is 'bridge fiction' - very popular reading amongst bridge players - which combines deductive card play and bridge playing characters with a fictional story. General interest appeal: to beginners and experienced bridge players.

Author Biography:

David Silver is the author of four previous story collections, the most recent being The Naked Bridge Player (ISBN 9781897106150). Tim Bourke is a bridge journalist, who is perhaps the world's foremost collector of bridge books, magazines and interesting hands.
