In Homage to Graham Rawle...

On my walk into work this morning in Leicester, I encountered a solitary playing card lying on the pavement. Of course, it reminded me instantly of Graham Rawle's forthcoming novel The Card. So I hastily took a photo, and this is my homage to him...

Rawle's The Card isn't released until June of this year, and I am already eagerly anticipating its arrival! It looks likely to be a surreal mystery in which the protagonist Riley finds a card, in a similar way to my own discovery this morning. Riley's card however spurns hidden clues and coded messages that lead him down a secret trail...

Sadly, no such enigmas surround my card, a tattered 6 of diamonds. Even a random found card that Rawle mentions on his blog appears to hold more secrets than mine (read the entry here). Oh well... Perhaps I should inscribe my own message and disgard this card on the streets of Sheffield...? Suggestions on a postcard please... or perhaps that should be, a playing card.
