The Devil Card - The Third Hidden Gotham Novel by Chris Holcombe

VICIOUS. VINDICTIVE. VENGEFUL.
SOME SINS CAN’T BE FORGIVEN.

A catastrophic fire drags gay speakeasy owner Dash Parker into the treacherous underworld of Little Italy — where people are seduced and imprisoned by their own vices.

When his club’s doorman suffers a devastating loss, Dash must learn if the fire is connected to a sordid gambling den and the predatory family that runs it, or to a secret society that many hoped was long dead. Untangling a decade’s worth of lies between a terrified father, a wily widow, and an enigmatic spiritualist pushes him to the limit. And there’s still the crooked cop who’s chasing after the loose ends of a crime that Dash and his friends thought they’d buried.

The threat of prison. The pain of penitence. The reckoning of the past. And Dash has to free himself of all these ghosts before more lives are lost.

With this third installment in the Hidden Gotham series, Chris Holcombe cements his status as the author of "honest-to-goodness pulp fiction at its gayest!"
