The Naked Bridge Player - and Other Stories (Paperback)

Professor Silver is back! The hero of "Tales out of School", "A Study in Silver", and "Bridge the Silver Way" takes on new opponents as the author finds fresh literary targets to lampoon. Yes, the man who brought us the Silver Certainty Principle, the Eastwood convention ("Do you feel lucky, partner?") and the concept of the supremacy of the heart suit in bridge now takes aim at (among many others): "The Matrix" ("Will you cut the red cards or the blue?"); "The Three Musketeers" ("All for one, all for me"); "All Quiet on the Western Front" ("Have you heard of the Geneva Convention?"). This new collection will keep Silver aficionados laughing all the way through the Christmas holiday season.
