Everything Audie McKay built is working. That's the problem.
He's married. He has a table — a poker table in a saloon, where a dozen men sit as equals and settle what the law won't touch. Bandits, extortion, men who prey on the quiet places. For a season, the alliance handles all of it. The territory is getting better. Audie can see it happening.
The counselor sees something else. He says his piece. Audie doesn't hear it the way he meant it.
Then the counselor is gone — called away on a debt Audie himself agreed to pay. Then the men start leaving, one at a time, riding out to spend the reputation they built at that table. Some come back. Some don't. The ones who stay to fill the empty chairs are not the ones Audie would have chosen.
By the time the table thins down to what it really is, someone has already taken the one thing that can't be replaced. Nobody saw it happen. Nobody knows it's gone.
Table Stakes is the second book of the Dead Man's Country Trilogy. The golden age and what's rotting inside it.
