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. Few have ever met the most feared criminal in Miami, but rumours abound of a forked tongue, voodoo ceremonies and friends in very high places.

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? What makes those who have swallowed the card go on a killing spree just before they die? And can Max find out the truth about Solomon Boukman, before death's shadow reaches his own front door.

Excerpt from book: A COMMON TALE. Deydbn has sung?(I cite with better grace His English than the Tuscan of Bocace)? How love could form the rugged Cymon's heart, And make the savage act the hero's part.

My Muse is humbler,?I relate a change Far less romantic, and not quite so strange. His story may be true, for aught I know, But I am well assured that mine is so.

Amongst our village scholars was a lad Who drew small notice. Neither good nor bad, If he could shuffle thro' his daily task, And 'scape a blow, 't was all he seemed to ask.

To his companions he was much the same? Easy and free, but somewhat dull and tame. No project of adventure came from him, And none was ever spoiled by Tony's whim.

When others had assented, he agreed, Nor last to follow, nor the first to lead. His master said, that Tony's parts were small; His comrades, Tony had no heart at all.

Both were mistaken: for his parts were good, And he could ply them strongly if he would. And 'neath that careless indolence there lay A heart whose throb could bring them into play, Soon as the destined object made it feel, And touched the springs to move each sluggish wheel.

In summer's noon, when dies the exhausted gale, How loose and languid hangs the flapping sail! Heavy and dull, the barque appears to sleep On the still bosom of the slumbering deep. But when the eve has freshened life restored, How stretched the canvass, and how tight the cord! Then the sharp keel cuts briskly thro' the seas, And all in gallant trim, she scuds before the breeze.

The destined object came which Fate designed To break the torpid sleep of Tony's mind. It came,?ah ! who Love's influence can escape ? It came, presented in a female shape.
