Bell, Book & Candle
Tarot Card Girl – as she calls herself on YouTube – parks her vintage Austin Bluebird on Palomino Beach because she has an appointment with “Severe Scorpio”, whom she promised a reading. A few hours later, “Scorpio” calls 911 to alert the Palomino PD that he has killed the girl. Detectives Thomas LeGrand, Michael LeMont and Jennifer Rodriguez find the suspect sitting on the floor of the jazzy campervan, covered in blood, waiting to be arrested. The girl’s body is nowhere to be found, and Chief Malcolm McNeil assembles a team to solve the mystery. It soon becomes clear that this is no ordinary murder case, and the team must dive deep into the occult to get a handle on what happened.
