Plot summary
Investigative reporter Joe Strombel dies, and on the barge of the dead he meets Jane Cook, who says her employer, the wealthy aristocrat Peter Lyman, poisoned her. Jane believed Lyman was the Tarot Card Killer, a man who murdered prostitutes and left a tarot card on each body. Strombel escapes the Grim Reaper to push his story back to the living, and it lands on Sondra Pransky, an American in London studying journalism, while she is onstage in a magician's booth at a show given by Sid Waterman. Sondra researches Strombel and takes up the question of whether Lyman is the killer, recruiting Sid to help. Sid poses as an oil baron and Sondra as his daughter Jade Spence; at a club pool she fakes a near drowning so Lyman will notice her.
