My China Marker

In the world of high stakes poker, it is not unknown for gamblers to loan each other money before the start of a card game. When they do, they will give each other a marker for the debt.

When John d'Eaux accepted Chan Ho Li as the marker for a debt incurred by a college classmate to the tune of a quarter of a million dollars, he had no idea of the changes his China Marker would bring to his life, or of the unusual way the pair of them would wreak vengeance on the man who tried to welsh on his debt.
