She Confessed, I Drew the Cards

Murder isn’t what Finn Harper expects when he reads tarot for a living—until Marlene, the toughest woman in town, walks into his neon-lit shop and confesses to a killing she may or may not have committed. As Finn’s life spirals from quirky readings and harmless superstitions into confessions, threats, and late-night visits from trembling teens, the line between psychic and suspect blurs dangerously. When the police start circling and Marlene’s motives twist from maternal sacrifice to calculated manipulation, Finn is forced to question everything—including his own innocence. In a town where secrets are currency and every charm might be a clue, how do you escape a fate that’s already been dealt? And who’s really pulling the strings—fortune, or Finn himself?
