Bucking the Tiger is a novel written by Achmed Abdullah and originally published in 1917. The story is set in the early 1900s and follows the life of a gambler named Tom Lee, who is skilled in the art of playing card games. Lee travels from city to city, always looking for the next big game to win. However, his life takes a dramatic turn when he falls in love with a beautiful woman named Molly, who is the wife of a wealthy businessman. As Lee tries to navigate his way through this dangerous love affair, he also finds himself caught up in a web of deceit and betrayal, as he becomes embroiled in a plot to steal a valuable diamond. The novel explores themes of love, loyalty, and the dangers of gambling, as well as the corrupting influence of money and power. With its vivid descriptions of the seedy underworld of gambling and its complex characters, Bucking the Tiger is a gripping and thought-provoking read that has stood the test of time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
