Bad to the Bone (2012)
“The cards were oversize, and the back design was a yellow and brown canvas with a disturbing and very realistic eye—as if someone was looking out of the cards at him. The pictorial sides of the cards were dark, muted paintings. Many of the cards depicted people or ideas such as Justice or Temperance. Each time he looked at the pictures he saw something new, objects hidden in the background of the paintings like owls or peacock feathers or rippling water. Hell if he knew what any of it meant, th...ough.
Sully shuffled the cards absently until Jessica and Iris came into the room. His qualms about the case, which had subsided, came roaring back as he looked at their faces. He expected Iris to be a little scared considering her prank; he expected Jessica to look embarrassed or even angry with the girl. But neither of them should have been frightened to the point of becoming pale and solemn.

When Iris’s eyes widened at the sight of him shuffling the deck, he stopped and held it out to her.MoreLess
