A statistics professor tries to survive a series of gruesome and impossibly unlikely disasters linked to a supernaturally lucky Vegas casino, while dealing with her own erasure as a bisexual, in this chilling and quick-witted horror novel. What’s happening in Vegas isn’t staying there... Four years ago, an unthinkable disaster occurred—the Low-Probability Event.

Eight million killed in a single day, each of them in improbable, bizarre ways: strangled by parade balloon ropes, torn apart by exploding manhole covers, attacked by a chimpanzee wielding a typewriter. A day that proved anything is possible, no matter the odds. Vera, a former statistics and probability professor, lost everything that day, and she still struggles to make sense of the unbelievable catastrophe.

To her, God is dead, and nothing matters anymore. When Special Agent Layne shows up on Vera’s doorstep, investigating a suspiciously—and statistically impossibly—lucky casino, he needs her help to prove the casino’s role in the LPE. And offers Vera one last chance to make sense of an unlikely world.
