BOOK DETAILS
King of Swords

Miami, 1981.  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.
