A time for crime has come.
The stakes where already high enough at Giovanni Galante’s poker table that night in Chicago. Poker. Dealer’s choice. Seven players. A million-dollar cash buy-in.
But after a superpowered disaster, the most high-profile criminals in the city are scattered throughout the past and their schemes across time threaten the stability of the world.
Featuring a fresh cast of characters, the latest tale set in George R.R. Martin’s Wild Cards universe is a time travel adventure that leads to the criminal underworld of 1920s Chicago.
