It's 1948 and magic has entered the world but it's not the magic of fairy godmothers and pixie dust. While magic exists alongside more mundane modern conveniences, it has a darker edge to it and, often, even darker intentions. This is the dangerous world New York City private eye Alex Crowley has to navigate when a rich widow blows into his office with a voodoo curse hanging over her head. The Edge of Evil is a noir detective tale of murder, madness, and Lovecraftian-cults.
