About this listen

After a disastrous evening playing slot machines, Ethan Caustin wonders how he's going to explain his massive loss to his wife and kids. As he tries to find his way out of the casino, sick to his stomach and filled with self-loathing, he's approached by a stranger who offers a solution to his problem.

It's a simple game. A 99 percent chance for him to win $10,000. In the remote chance that he loses...well, he'll be strapped into a device that shatters his left arm.

The odds are very much in his favor. But this is only the first round.

As the game goes on, the prizes and penalties keep changing, along with his chances of winning. As the high stakes get out of control and Ethan desperately wants to quit, he'll learn that they've only offered him one means of escape: Play the game to the very end....

A thrilling novel of suspense from the Bram Stoker Award-nominated author of Pressure and My Pretties.

Unmercifully Suspenseful

I'm a fan of Strand's work and he really knows how to make his readers and characters squirm.

Love the cringe of the circumstances

Stories where people make bad decisions that cause them to spiral down to worse and worse outcomes always make me cringe. I have dreams like this and they make me anxious. I think reading stories like this just adds fuel to the fire, but I just can't quit.

Don’t Gamble

I enjoyed this horrific suspenseful thriller about a gambling addict. Ethan Caustin is supposed to be working but ends up in a casino and he loses. He makes a deal with Rick and ends up winning a lot but ends up putting him and his family in danger. It is fast paced, violent with a hint of humor and good narration. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. THANK YOU!
