Chapter 1

Four men sit down to a poker game. The first is a company commander, returned from the War under suspicious circumstances. The second is a humble soldier, although humble he certainly is not. The third is Lieutenant Robert Newham, and the fourth is dead before the games are over. It's a closed-room case, and Allie will need every scrap of wit and determination she has to solve the case before the police get involved.
