'A perfect mix of scares, evil and subtle horror' Thrilling Stories


Retired gambler Tadeus Boch has just come into possession of a mysterious playing card, apparently from a very rare eighteenth-century deck. He immediately becomes obsessed with tracking down the entire set of cards, rumoured to be the one pack in the world for the legendary game Supérieur . . . and said to be created by the Devil himself.


But Boch is not the only person searching for the missing cards. And the more he learns about the game, the more dangerous the chase becomes.


It's not long before Boch realises he's playing for the highest stakes he's ever wagered: nothing less than his own life.


'A finely balanced mixture of sophisticated horror elements, historical references and fast-paced action scenes. Markus Heitz whips his readers through a stirring adventure until the spectacular showdown' Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger
