Excerpt from How Many Cards?
It was a soft April night, starless, for the sky was still overcast from a recent shower, and the odor of wet earth and fresh, springing green things from the park across the avenue blended pleasantly with the smoke of the cigar which tilted upward from beneath his short, stubby, sandy mus tache.

Paperback. Condición: 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 victim is millionaire Eugene Creveling, a notorious art collector, and lover of fast living, shot dead on the floor of his study. 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. The book is sure to fascinate fans of classic mystery, detective thrillers, and tales of intrigue.
