Critics Review

Praise for Strip Rules

“God bless Martin Limón for reinstating gambling as one of America’s great vices. Strip Rules’ menagerie of card cheats, ex-military wing nuts, and connivers manages to mark a win for humanity. Limón’s latest is more fun than cheating at solitaire, and with a bigger payoff. Strip Rules has it all in spades.”
—Ed Lin, author of The Dead Can’t Make a Living

“I loved Strip Rules. Martin Limón aces it again with characters who stay with you, sharp dialogue, and wry, telling insights.”
—Cara Black, New York Times bestselling author of the Aimée Leduc series

“There’s a ton of blackjack in here, and it’s accurate … It’s really cool … Those are all the things we did.”
—Anthony Curtis, Las Vegas Advisor
