Default Re: Cheating with a \"shinner\"

Excellent fictional cheating passage involving a shiner early in "Moonraker" James Bond novel. The game is bridge, not poker, and Bond's way of busting the cheat is well worth reading.

Fleming was great at writing these kinds of gaming scenes, pitting Bond against a cheating bad guy. The golf match in Goldfinger is also classic.

Too bad he never had 007 play poker.
