Until two things turn up: the victim's family, slaughtered; and a partly digested tarot card in the dead man's stomach — "The King of Swords".
An increasingly bloody trail leads Max and Joe first to a sinister fortune-teller and her scheming pimp son, then to the infamous Solomon Boukman.

Against a backdrop of black magic and police corruption, Max and Joe must distinguish the good guys from the bad — and track down some answers. What is the significance of the "King of Swords"?
