Description
Lefty Markowitz is an unlikely hero. A former New York cop turned professional gambler, he's a man with a lot to lose and even less to gain from life. But when a bar girl is murdered, Lefty finds himself at the centre of a deadly game. Pursued by a cast of ruthless adversaries, including Chinese triads, Japanese Yakuza, corrupt politicians, and overzealous reporters, he must navigate the dark underbelly of Manila to uncover the truth. Aided by his girlfriend Hyacinth Chin and her protégé Gladiola Laboong, Lefty embarks on a perilous journey through the city's hidden corners. With no clear leads and a growing list of enemies, he'll need all his wits about him to stay one step ahead of his pursuers. As much as he'd like to find the killer, Lefty's primary goal is to survive long enough to enjoy a decent slice of pizza. Can he outsmart his foes and uncover the truth before it's too late?
