Before Columbus sailed for the New World and wolves still roamed the streets of Paris, fortune tellers and necromancers were shuffling the 78 cards of the Tarot to divine the future, this esoteric practice like an ear-whispered doctrine passed down to the occultists and crystal gazers of today.George O'Keith is a collector of the arcane and extraordinary - what's more he's got the money to dabble, a lady to die for, the lakeside cottage (that calls out for a horror story), even a Harley straight out of Easy Rider. When he acquires a Tarot deck from a wizened old gypsy, he's skeptical about the power of the cards. He spreads a mandala on the table and, astonishingly, unexpectedly, his cosy life becomes the perfect storm: the Queen of Storms - the beginning of a nightmare.This is Ashen White at her best, compulsive, daring, with a touch of humor as she takes us on a tornado ride into the dark side of the erotic. Oh, yes, make sure someone else is in the house when you start reading this book. You don't want to be caught out on your own.
