He was called the Michael Jordan of bridge, considered to be the world’s greatest player, and accused of cheating in a scandal that rocked the bridge world to its core.  DIRTY TRICKS is the detective-like story of Lotan Fisher, the self-confident Israeli who seemed invincible until his nemesis, Norway’s Boye Brogeland, brought him down. But was Fisher cheating?

Lotan Fisher was a precocious child with a mind-boggling ability to remember numbers. His passion for bridge started when he walked into a bridge club at age 11 and was immediately identified as a possible champion. Fisher’s quick rise through the ranks, while rubbing shoulders with some of the richest men in the world, reflected not only his skill but a passion that was all consuming.

Then Brogeland, who had lost to Fisher in the quarter finals of a bridge championship, began to question some of Fisher’s moves. They were unconventional, too unconventional, were Fisher and his partner secretly signaling one another? Many thought the pair were doing just that. DIRTY TRICKS is the story of what happened in a fast-paced narrative that leaves it to you to decide.
