Book 1 in the Cassie Belmont Tarot Reader Mysteries (Order it on Amazon, Kobo, or for Nook!)

Professional tarot reader Cassie Belmont consults with the DC police to rescue kidnapping victims and has always brought them back alive. When police find a grisly murder scene that looks like a tableau of one of her tarot cards, they bring Cassie in to shed light on the ghastly display and help catch the killer.

Suspects, colleagues, a sexy cop, an inquisitive reporter, and a tragedy from her past hamper Cassie’s abilities. She’ll have to rely on her wits, instincts, and strength to solve the murders before the killer strikes again.
