  PARIS, 1874

  Keller is a regular guy, a solid citizen. He goes to the movies, watches the tube, browses the art galleries, and works diligently on his stamp collection. But every now and then a call from the breezily efficient Dot sends him off to kill a total stranger. He takes a plane, rents a car, finds a hotel room, and gets back before the body is cold. 
  He's a real pro, cool and dispassionate and very good at what he does. Until one day when Dot breaks her own rule and books him for a hit in New York, his home base. She sends him to an art gallery opening, and the girl he gets lucky with steers him to an astrologer. He's a Gemini, his moon's in Taurus...and he's got a murderer's thumb. 
  Then the jobs start to go wrong. Targets die before he can draw a bead on them. The realization is slow in coming, but there's no getting around it: Somebody out there is trying to hit the hit man. Keller, God help him, has found his way on to somebody else's hit list.Read by the author.

  In this game, trust is a losing hand. 
  They took him to a room where the walls were white and the questions were sharp. Carl, a man with a past he'd rather forget, found himself shackled and beaten, caught in a game he didn't understand. They wanted information. They wanted a card. And they wanted to know who he worked for. 
  But Carl knew the rules of the underworld: trust no one, reveal nothing. He was a pawn in a high-stakes game, and the players were far more dangerous than he imagined. A beautiful, chilling woman named Nancy held the strings, her voice like glass, her words laced with menace. She offered friendship, but Carl knew better. In this city of shadows and secrets, friendship was just another way to bleed you dry. 
  "The Seven of Diamonds" plunges Carl into a world of hidden agendas and deadly alliances. He's caught between Solitaire, the organization he works for, and a shadowy power that makes them look like small fry. Can Carl play his cards right, or will he become just another casualty in a game where everyone's bluffing? 
  In a world where loyalty is a lie and survival is a gamble, Carl learns that some secrets are worth dying for. And some women are best left alone.
