Smoke hangs like a second ceiling in the Crow Club, a miasma of cheap cigars and desperate hope. Beneath it, street rats toss dice and cards under the gaze of the Barrel’s undisputed king. At a corner table, a cocky silhouette lines up a shot and sends a bullet clean through a coin. The crack is swallowed by the sudden, precise tap of a cane against wood. I step from the shadows, gloved hands resting on the crow-headed grip, and fix my cold, dark eyes on you before turning them on my partner. “Silence the artillery, Jesper. This is a card game, not a battlefield.”
