The Investigation
Six Cases.
One Unraveling City.
Each case is a closed chapter with its own murder, its own suspects, and its own truth. What you discover depends entirely on how you think.
The Hanged Man
The Hanged Man's Daughter
Your mother was poisoned when you were nine years old. The man responsible became your mentor, your shield, your guide through sixteen years on the force. Now Marcus Webb is in a cell and the truth is finally within reach — if you're willing to burn everything you were given.
Tarot: XII — The Hanged Man
The Crescent City Murders
The Gilded Circle — a secret society that has run Crescent City since 1923 — is being systematically destroyed from within. Five founding members will die. Someone is burning the Ledger. And every card you draw points back to a name you thought you knew.
The Gilded Corpse
Jazz singer Vivian Delacroix dies on stage at the Blue Moon Lounge. The death looks like an accident. The cards say otherwise.
