Synopsis

The case of a missing antiques dealer brings Scotland Yard to France . . .   When Samuel Cheever, a shady dealer, goes to France to buy antiques and never returns, people begin to ask questions, and Superintendent Littlejohn is sent to uncover the mystery. Then, when Cheever’s bones are discovered in the wilderness of the Camargue, Littlejohn finds himself having to navigate the company of the French police.   While working the case, Littlejohn and his partner, Sergeant Cromwell, throw themselves into la vie française with gusto: the sunshine, the food and, of course, the wine. But Cheever’s trail leads to many strange places, and even stranger people, from travelers to bullfighters to cowboys—and when one of the cowboys turns up dead and Cheever’s possessions are found in his home, the investigation takes a dark turn . . .

    Las Vegas knows how to hide a secret. 
    Beneath the glint of chandeliers and the hush of velvet-draped rooms, two women fight for control in a world where loyalty is currency and every truth is wrapped in misdirection. 
    Dahlia Millward may look like the picture of wealth and influence, but tonight, she’s making a move no one expects. With a custom piece of jewelry—a Queen towering over an Ace—she sends a silent message to those who’ve underestimated her for too long: she’s not just someone’s wife. She’s about to become someone’s reckoning. 
    Meanwhile, across the city, Janice—still hiding under the alias Cynthia—has just had her cover blown. With a two-week window, a list of enemies, and a target named Jack, her mission is no longer covert—it’s personal. But choosing a side in this war could cost her more than her freedom. It could cost her everything. 
    Episode 26: Queen of Clubs deals a fierce new hand in the Solitaire Series, where every character masks intent behind charm, and the house always plays dirty. As paths collide and identities fracture, Dahlia and Janice must decide what—and who—is worth saving. 
    They’re done playing by someone else’s rules. And they’re not folding. 
    🎧 Tune in to "Queen of Clubs"—where secrets cut sharper than diamonds, and the true Queen never needs to show her whole hand.
