My novel, THE PROTEGE, is about a bartender, Charlie Grifter, who is taught the 'tricks of the trade' by a pool tournament champion, Big Milwaukee, shortly before his demise. This protege eventually becomes involved in tournament play as well as the convivial and corrupt aspects surrounding it. Illegal bets, the Mafia, drugs and a woman, all blockade the road he must take to win the Tournament Championship.

THE PROTEGE is available from Amazon in Kindle Edition.
