The New York Times bestselling author of The Accidental Billionaires and Bringing Down the House returns with the larger-than-life true tale of a group of hard-partying frat brothers who built a multi-billion-dollar on-line poker colossus - and what happened when the Feds shut down their operation, sending them on the run.
Ben Mezrich is the New York Times bestselling author of The Accidental Billionaires and Bringing Down the House in addition to many other books, both fiction and non-fiction. The major motion picture 21, starring Kevin Spacey, was based on Bringing Down the House. The Oscar-winning film The Social Network was adapted from The Accidental Billionaires. Mezrich lives in Boston with his wife and son.
Mezrich writes some of the most exciting non-fiction books I've
ever read ... This is a fascinating tale ... Mezrich's huge
strength as an author is that he manages to bring characters to
life so quickly. Within a few chapters, everyone who he's writing
about has been vividly described and I was desperate to find out
what happened to each of them
*The Bookbag*
Peppered with fast cars, cocktails, parties and beautiful women,
this is an exhilarating ride.
*Press Association, syndicated review*
Ben Mezrich’s Straight Flush reads like a thriller and it rattles
along at breakneck speed … It’s a well written book about an
internet start up and how it all went wrong.
