"Beckwith draws from his past experience in the financial world to create a terrifying scenario...delving into a world of deceit and double cross."
—John H. Cunningham, USA TODAY, bestselling author of the Buck Reilly Adventure series.

SNAKEBIT—"When my bad luck runs out I won't be left with any luck at all..."

Meet Matthew Booker. Former local golden boy who was rightfully called Ace. The world was his oyster. But now Ace is the most despised guy in the whole county with little hope for the future. And how did he manage this transformation? It was not due to his mistakes, but due to the greed and corruption of others. In the blink of an eye, Ace has gone from fortuitous and well-off to being snakebit and is suddenly an almost destitute societal leper. But is Ace out of the game permanently? Now Ace must scramble to rescue what little he has left against unforgiving adversaries who will stop at nothing to keep him down. And it's not going to be easy. But after all, when the going gets tough, the tough get going.
