The Grit, Gamble & Grace series is a sprawling Florida crime saga. Here's how to find your way in, depending on what kind of reader you are.
The Bolita Grift is the main entry point. Meet Jerome "Redbone" Blake as he's pulled into Miami's underground bolita lottery and discovers that surviving the system means mastering it. This is where most readers begin.
The Numbers Man is a prequel novella that shows how Jerome first learned the numbers game. It's a quick read that sets the stage, but it's not required. Some readers prefer it before Book One; others circle back to it later.
The Untold, Told Right is my free weekly letter, every Wednesday: more of the real history behind my books, and more of Jerome.
