Book Review #11
The Ballad of a Small Player
by Lawrence Osborne
A good book, basically a very atmospheric character study of a British embezzler gambling away his ill-gotten gains in Macau. Lawrence uses his expertise as a an experienced travel writer to create a suspenseful time at the gaming tables where his protagonist, Lord Doyle (not his real name), spirals downward in his hedonistic and hellish surroundings.
