The Crimson Dice (1903)

By George Nox McCain

Book Overview

The Crimson Dice is a novel written by George Nox McCain and published in 1903. The book tells the story of a young man named Jack who is forced to flee from his hometown after being falsely accused of a crime. He finds himself in a new city where he becomes involved with a group of gamblers who use loaded dice to cheat their opponents. Jack is initially hesitant to participate in their schemes, but he eventually becomes caught up in the thrill of the game and the promise of easy money. As he becomes more deeply involved with the gamblers, Jack must confront the moral implications of his actions and decide whether to continue down a path of deception and dishonesty or to try to make amends for his past mistakes. The novel explores themes of morality, temptation, and redemption, and provides a vivid portrayal of the seedy underworld of gambling in turn-of-the-century America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
