Evening in Byzantium

by Irwin Shaw · 1973

+ Want to read

Honest men and thieves, pimps, panderers and men of virtue: they were all gamblers in a game with no rules, placing their bets debonairly, or in the sweat of fear. The place is Cannes, the setting, a film festival, and the hero is Jesse Craig, whose survival is at stake.
