Count Louis Hamon--also known as Cheiro--was an Irishman who achieved international celebrity as a seer, palmist, numerologist, and bestselling author. A STUDY OF DESTINY (also published as THE HAND OF FATE) was his only work of fiction. This masterful story of a curse--and the fate of the cursed--has been out of print, except for one anthology appearance, since the 1890s. Volume II of the new "Insistent Visions" series. (Also available in hardback.)
