Jack Landower is a 44-year-old accountant and math wiz who is stuck in a rut, with a dead-end job and a stagnant marriage. Plans for a low-key vasectomy weekend in Las Vegas are turned upside down when he wins free entry into the largest Texas Hold 'Em poker tournament in the world. His good luck and good fortune at the poker table raises Jack's spirits and outlook on life, which he parlays into improved outcomes at work and in the bedroom. When his unexpected success threatens the old poker guard of Vegas, he becomes the target of schemes and blackmail that put his marriage and livelihood at risk. "Two Jacks" takes readers on a wild ride through midlife crises, sexual proclivities, blackmail, marital strife, coercion, conception, deception, and psychological drama.
