Low Chicago (Wild Cards)

by George R. R. Martin

First published 2018

In the seedy underbelly of Prohibition-era Chicago, a motley crew of gamblers, grifters, and time-traveling mobsters clash in a high-stakes game of power and deception. When a mysterious portal opens, allowing criminals to alter the past, the city erupts into a chaotic clash of rival factions vying for control. As the stakes rise and the rules of time itself become unraveled, these flawed and fascinating characters must navigate a treacherous landscape of shifting alliances, double-crosses, and the ever-present threat of the law. At the heart of it all is a compelling exploration of the human desire for redemption, even in the face of overwhelming odds.
