To some extent, the next few days will be a test of endurance as much as skill, as a marathon gambling session will occur with very little in the way of breaks.Ĭomplicating matters are little distractions that the syndicate has prepared to keep Martin and his security chief Sprig on their toes, a lounge singer who has caught the eye of Bello's girlfriend, and a beautiful schoolteacher who has enamored Martin.įisher's prose has a nice lean quality to it that draws the reader in quickly and wastes few words. Bello comes in early on a Sunday morning, and Martin - knowing what's coming - needs to monitor the gambler's play and okay the high bets that will be laid down. This doesn't involve anything as crude as murder instead, the syndicate has staked the best craps player around, the infamous Bello, to win $10,000,000 from the Rainbow's End, ruining Martin in the process. Joe Martin owns the Rainbow's End, a big casino that is independent from the syndicate fortunately, Martin is savvy enough to prosper, but the syndicate has decided it's time to take him down. This was not a place for family vacations all there was to do was gamble and occasionally see a show or go swimming. No House Limit is a tale of early Las Vegas, that is, the period when the city was really taking off with all new (often mob-financed) casinos. Hard Case Crime, which has been reissuing a lot of out-of-print works from decades past, has given readers a chance to be introduced to Fisher with his 1958 novel, No House Limit. The movie was based on a novel by an almost-forgotten writer named Steve Fisher.
