The Ballad Of A Small Player: A Novel

"The Ballad of a Small Player centers on “Lord Doyle,” an English lawyer who’s on the run with some ill-begotten money and gambling it all away in the casinos of Macau. With echoes of V.S. Naipaul and Graham Greene, author Lawrence Osborne’s portrayal of a man at the end of his rope, in a foreign land, descending into his own private hell and attempting to find salvation are pitch perfect and ultimately captivating."
