Madison Smartt Bell's new novel tells the story of a Las Vegas blackjack dealer. She spends her free time wandering the desert with a rifle, or sitting in her trailer watching replays of an old lover escape the wreckage of the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. But her troubles stretch back to the 1960s and even earlier with her abusive childhood.
