Synopsis:
The Kellor Mob is one of the most influental organizations in England's underworld, and one important reason of that is the unorthodox use of magic in their criminal activities. When the head of the family, John Kellor, dies, his son Jack is supposed to take over. Jack is not as well-versed in magic as some of the other people of his organization, but secretly wields a limited degree of mind-expanding telepathy. However, Jack has not only to struggle to win the respect of rival crime bosses – he must also keep control of the Bocor, the immensely powerful voodoo magician who was the right-hand man of John Kellor. With the scarfaced mobster-turned-wizard Floyd at his side, Jack deals with his various duties as the head of the "family". But secretly, Jack plots to bring his father's empire to its knees.
