Book cover for THE DOUBLE VICE, the 1st Hidden Gotham Novel, as shown on a tablet device. A man in a tuxedo stands next to a man in a white work shirt and suspenders. They’re in the middle of a smoky speakeasy, the background colors red and orange. Tendrils of smoke float across the book’s title.

Behind the tablet is a sparkly gold table cloth. A red flask rests in the lower right corner.

When you find a dead flapper in your illegal speakeasy’s WC, you have to call a number you really don’t want to.

Book cover for THE BLIND TIGER, the 2nd Hidden Gotham Novel as shown on an iPad. A man in a tuxedo sits in the middle of a smoky room while the shadow of a flapper dances behind his left shoulder and a gangster’s face half-hidden by a fedora glares at him over his right shoulder. Tendrils of smoke surround the book’s title.

Behind the iPad is a sparkly gold table cloth. A barber’s straight razor, which represents the opening scene of the book, rests in the lower right corner.

if you want to pop off on a reveal, here's one for free

"how do you play a game with a loaded gun?"

the answer is "Play Russian Roulette"

Enough of you don't know what that answer means that it counts as a mystery mechanic.

Do with that as you will

Is the seance true? Or is it rigged?
