Publisher's Synopsis
Philip K Dick meets The Matrix in this action-filled metaphysical tale...
Jane is a hungry prostitute who has recently been liberated from her pimp, Real Money. On a fateful night, she meets Dick, a despairing hitman who is seeking an angel of forgiveness. After he reveals himself to Jane, Dick offers to kill Real Money as an act of revenge. When her pimp is murdered in prison, Jane goes into hiding with Dick, her mind reeling with a mixture of guilt and gratitude.
Then, Jane meets Monique at a seedy nightclub called The Labyrinth. Monique is a mysterious being called a Cretan who appears to control reality itself. Jane gradually begins to realize that her choices are not her own and that morality is turned on its head in the world of the Cretans. Violence has a purpose and fear is just a game in their mystical otherworld. The prostitute and the hitman become enmeshed in a dance of violence, insanity, and passion as they gradually discover that free will is just an illusion.
5 of Swords is the powerful first part of The Urban Tarot Collection. It contains Books 1-5: The Hanged Man, The Magician, The High Priestess, The Empress and The Emperor.
