Mistaken identifies, elaborate impersonations, gambling, a high-fashion brothel, even a kidnapping. You get it all and more between the pages of 'A Game of Chance'.Without giving too much away and spoiling a good read, there are two identical twin brothers, each unaware of the other. They travel the west, landing in San Francisco. One brother knows he has a double he almost hanged for, but not that the double is his rotten twin. They raise a few eyebrows and cause a few sparks with the people they encounter. There is a house madam, who sadly cannot fulfil her duties any more. Her daughter, a younger dead ringer for her mother, effectively impersonates the madam, fooling everyone. Yet it is at the cost of her happiness. The truth of the daughter seems to be shrouded in mystery according to the San Fran locals.The twists and turns of these primary characters take the reader on an incredible ride as they encounter various people who may or may not know who they really are. In the end, a lasting love between one brother and one daughter is the ultimate gamble.
