The Gamblers Apprentice tells the story of a teenage boy growing up in Texas during desperate times. Willy, wise and capable beyond his years, learns the gamblers trade and experiences adventures that demand quick witsand sometimes violent actions. This is a multilayered story, full of Old West motifs such as cattlerustling and gunfights along with more modern twists.Starting with a cattlerustling scheme involving his father, Willy embarks on a life of crime early, eventually landing in a Laredo jail for shooting a man. During his incarceration he meets Sonny Archer, an itinerant gambler, who teaches Willy how to be a cardsharp. Upon his release, Willy roams the country, honing his new talent and getting into more trouble. During his time in New Orleans, Willy even winds up in a confrontation with an Italian crime ring.While all these adventures mold Willy into a clever card player and a masterful fortunehunter, his grand ambition to be a professional gambler is thwarted when the influenza epidemic strikes. Willy is forced to return home to his familys Texas ranch, where he faces the most challenging test of his young life and begins to prove that he is far more than simply an apprentice.
