On the cusp of winter, three bodies are discovered at a cathedral, their throats slit. Deliberately placed there by the killer, the crime scene offers little evidence to Detective Fox, who is assigned his first murder case. The only clue is the one the killer wanted found; three tarot cards. Determined to be successful with his first important case, Fox turns to the city's Mystic Quarter in search of a tarot reader. Unfortunately for him, the most talented reader happens to be Rebecca, the love of his life. Who he hasn't spoken to in ten years after rejecting her marriage proposal.
Despite her conflicting feelings for Fox, Rebecca lends her expertise with tarot cards to the investigation. She quickly predicts more killings are inevitable. The killer is using a familiar spread, which tips them off to where the next bodies will be found. Yet the killer is moving fast, leaving them one step behind as the body count continues to climb.
It soon becomes obvious that the victims are not random. As Fox and Rebecca purse the killer, from wealthy mansions to asylums, they begin to unravel another series of crimes buried under the city's web of privilege and power. Crimes that began with Fox's birth, connecting him to the killer, and putting everyone he loves in danger. With a killer on the loose and more mysteries unraveled at every turn, Fox is not just racing to solve one case, but two, and save the city's soul in the process.
