Outside a jazz club, a well-dressed couple leans against a Studebaker, the man casually brandishing something that is half tommy gun, half ray gun.

A Quick Death in Gotham

It’s the height of the Jazz Age. The height of Prohibition. The Right Honorable Order of Thaumaturges reigns with weird technology over an America gone strange, where masonry-domed city-states hunker amid poisoned wastelands and munitions factories. Where handsome women and beautiful men swill bootleg liquor in smoky speakeasies. Where strange vehicles lurch through the streets, creators toil in basements over diabolical inventions, and the skies are full of all manner of bizarre and wonderful flying machines.

On the fabled Island of Manhattan, in the besieged city of Gotham, a serial killer is on the loose. There have been a string of murders with two things in common. One: All the victims have had their hearts cut out; Two: All the victims had been seen with a woman before they died. The papers have been plastered with headlines of the serial killer they call “Poor Jackie”. All of Gotham is abuzz with the news of the first woman serial killer.
