Charlatans

By Briana Queen

Nico, Zuri, and Andr Balleux-commonly known as the Mardi Gras Triplets-are living different versions of their own lies: Nico uses his abnormal strength as mob muscle; Zuri uses her gift to read minds to push her fortune-telling fame; and Andr communicates with the dead to solve cold cases and infidelity scandals as a private eye.

Several years ago, their father disappeared, and ever since, the three do not speak to each other...save for the occasional favor. But the appearance of a dark stranger one night, who promises to grant each of them their deepest, darkest desires in exchange for their missing father forces them to come together once again to face the demons of their past, present, and future.

The deadline is tight-by Mardi Gras, in two days-but each Balleux is confident that they will succeed, and the wish will belong to them and them alone. Accidentally kicking off a zombie apocalypse might make things go sideways, though.
