Cover painting by KRISTIANSEN & MATT WAGNER. It's Mardi Gras in New Orleans, and the devils abound! Mantovani gambles on Calhoun, who is playing his cards for the deadly Renute. Gloria seduces her way to the treasure she's been seeking, while Bixby is attacked by demons - or are they just carnival-goers? And just where do the voodoo vampires come in? Not for children.
