Excerpt from How Many Cards?

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book begins with a retired police officer happening upon a dark mansion in the early hours of the morning, only to stumble upon a gruesome murder scene.

The author's prose is as sharp and stylish as the main character, a former officer, whose nose for trouble leads him into the world of high society and art. As the investigation deepens, the author explores themes of wealth, privilege, and familial neglect, all while exploring the fine line between mere chance and the persistent allure of getting oneself mixed up in dangerous situations.
