Jack may be nimble and he may be quick, but if he’s not careful he’s going to get his butt thrown back in jail.
After organizing and participating in a break out from the Golden Boughs Retirement Village, a.k.a. the prison where fairy-tale folk like Jack are kept until they vanish from the world’s memory, the hero of legend decides to try to turn his luck around in — where else? — Las Vegas!
When Jack meets the beautiful, rich heiress of his dreams it looks like his life is back on track, but Lady Luck has something to say about that and he quickly finds himself embroiled in a bloody casino war that will take all of his cunning to win.
The second volume of this Fables spin-off series, following the adventures of the legendary Jack (Horner, B. Nimble, or even Frost, as we find out in this book), is great tongue-in-cheek storytelling with lots of clever twists and turns.
