De lefvande dödas klubb

A card-sharp on the brink of self-oblivion, Tom Haget, is lured by a wax-sealed billet into the candle-lit catacombs of the D.L.D.C.—a clandestine fraternity where despair is monetised and mortality raffled off nightly. Each member draws a ticket: the „winner“ earns the privilege of annihilation, while the rest must applaud. Parallel to this danse macabre, Lieutenant Dick Huntley—honour-bound courier of a king’s ransom—is hurled into amnesiac limbo after a hit-and-run, stripped of name, rank and cash. His odyssey through hospital wards and gutter hymns mirrors Haget’s descent into the club’s velvet abyss. When the two lost souls collide in a fog-choked alley, the lieutenant’s hunt for identity fuses with the gambler’s craving for finality, and the roulette wheel of fate spins faster, scattering bullets, banknotes and last confessions across a city that already smells of wet gravestones.
