The Cards Call Themselves

A Merlin Bloodstone Novella

A notorious serial killed—dubbed the Deathdealer by the press—decorates his kills with a spread of Tarot Cards. At wit's-end, authorities asked noted Occultist, Doctor Merlin Bloodstone to consult on the case. A press leak highlighted Bloodstone's work, causing authorities to cancel it and blame him for the leak. Bloodstone washed his hands of the case.

But then the Deathdealer killed again, in the shadow of Bloodstone's home, making the case very much personal, and one Bloodstone can no longer ignore.
