A GAMBLER RIGS THE SUPERBOWL... AGAINDirty Davenport doesn't give a damn about money, power, real-estate, or celebrity. His family gets off on that stuff. Meanwhile, he just wants to play golf, ride his motorcycle, and live on his boat in Lake Tahoe. Too bad that's not in the cards. Davenport is a retired gambler who, after doing a two-year stretch for rigging the Superbowl, returns to his hometown and tries to make a peaceful life . He fails when his half-brother, a young tech mogul hell-bent on owning the moon, talks him into playing at the wrong card game. The book is a ride with a good bit of swearing. If that triggers your delicate sensibilities, please be advised. Small children and Boomers should not read this book. You have been warned. LEGAL NOTICE: The attorneys at KIT INC. want to make it official... Dirty Davenport is a parody and a satire, none of the events in the story actually happened. Shit is pure fiction.
