About The Damnation Game
'It was an odd disease. Its symptoms were like infatuation–palpitations, sleeplessness. Its only certain cure, death...' Chance had ruled Marty Strauss' life for as long as he could remember. Now at last luck was turning his way. Parolled from prison, he becomes bodyguard to Joseph Whitehead, one of the richest men in Europe.

Terrifying forces, with the power to raise the dead; and Marty is trapped between his human masters and Hell itself, with just one last, desperate game left to play...
