MADAME TAROT
GENRE
Novel
LOGLINE
A former cop turned tarot master hunts for her missing sister in the neon-lit underbelly of Seoul, using instinct over protocol to profile killers—while battling her ex-husband detective and a system that failed her.
SYNOPSIS
Madame Tarot is a psychological crime thriller where intuition meets procedure.
Jo Seo-ran, once a promising detective, abandoned the force when her younger sister vanished and the police dismissed it as a runaway case. Now known as Madame Tarot, she works the nightlife district as a reader for women no one else listens to.
Her unique method—tarot-based criminal profiling—blends criminology with archetypes, symbolism, and instinct. Each episode follows a self-contained case (murder, fraud, missing persons) that exposes deeper systemic failures, while the serialized spine follows her relentless search for her sister Seo-hee.
This is not just about solving crimes. It’s about women silenced by institutions, sisters bound by trauma, and one woman’s refusal to obey rules that never protected her.
