THE
PICASSO FLOP, the poker mystery I co-authored with WPT moderator Vince Van
Patten, is now available on Amazon--and soon on Barnes & Noble--from
Crossroad Press. It's the first book in the "Jimmy Spain" poker
series, which was initially published in 2007 by the Mysterious
Press. Before the book could make it to paperback, however, Warner
Books was purchased by Hatchette, who then discontinued the Mysterious Press
imprint.
Now the book is back as an ebook and also available as a POD trade paperback.
Critics have said:
The
Barnes & Noble Review
With the
colorful, neon-lit casinos of Vegas as a backdrop, Vince Van Patten and Robert
J. Randisi's The Picasso Flop blends the world of high-stakes
professional poker with murder, mystery, and masterful manipulation.
Paul Goat Allen
Van Patten possesses the hard-boiled,
professional writing skills of Robert J. Randisi; this first in the projected
"Texas Hold 'em" series is a winner.
Library Journal
“Finally, a book that shows the
drama and excitement of the poker world, plus adds an edgy yet humorous murder
twist. I’m hooked!”
Farrah Fawcett
“A straight flush winner . . . the poker world told so well . .
. I could not put it down.
Mike Sexton, The World Poker Tour
“Vince Van Patten draws an ace, teaming up with Robert J.
Randisi on THE PICASSO FLOP. Whether you’re a poker fiend or a mystery fan,
you’ve drawn the perfect hand in this exciting new thriller.
Max Allan Collins, best-selling author of ROAD TO PERDITION.
The book will be
followed by the previously unpublished sequel, THE JUDGMENT FOLD.
