Synopsis

Holmes and Watson are asked to investigate the London Tarot Killings, a sequence of brutal murders in Lower Havering in which cards from an Italian deck are left on the victims’ faces. The case appears to connect to the unresolved death of the solicitor Richard Corkright, killed in his Merton office despite its seemingly secure setting.

Working at the request of the police, the pair pursue a scheme attributed to a sinister “Tarot Master”, following leads that run from London’s wealthy circles to its backstreets. Their enquiry brings them into contact with ritual murder, remorse-driven suicide, and a range of dangerous figures, as they close in on a ruthless and diabolical mind.
