  1. 1

    A riveting, haunting debut thriller set in Miami and Haiti. Former cop turned private eye Max Mingus is hired by the wealthy Allan Carver to find his young son Charlie, who went missing on the island of Haiti three years before. But something terrifying is happening on the island; previous detectives who went there to look for him have either returned as mental wrecks or not returned at all. A long line of children have disappeared in Haiti and on an island where voodoo dominates daily life, a local myth has grown up about a figure called Mr Clarinet who spirits the children away. But Max soon realises there is a far more real, far more shocking explanation...

  2. 2

    This book is set in 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'. 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?
