From the Publisher:

During the prohibition era, gangsters grew rich on our vices, and rivalries between criminal organizations resulted in open war. But unknown to the masses, a more sinister power controlled the crime cartels, using greed, gluttony, lust and other sins to fuel a much more lucrative trade: mortal souls. The long-standing Feud between two of the families is about the come to an end thanks to a brokered deal to consolidate power: But before things can be finalized, the bookkeeper tasked to brokering the deal is kidnapped.

Hopinh to find the missing bookkeeper before the deal falls apart, Big Al pulls Eddie’s corpse out of a ditch and puts him on the case. Our gumshoe Eddie now finds himself caught up in the middle of a sinister web of kidnapping, murder, and damnation. Things would go so much smoother if he could just stop getting himself killed.

It’s a curse, but there are worse curses to have in this dark and crazy world.
