When Detective Max Mingus and his partner Joe are called to the scene of a death at Miami's Primate Park, it looks like another routine - if slightly bizarre - investigation. 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAgainst 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...?","brand":"Stone, Nick","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":48819869581651,"sku":"XV80141021072","price":5.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/stone-nick-king-of-swords-xv80141021072-56610552316243.jpg?v=1727079975","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.com\/products\/king-of-swords","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
