Description
FBI Special Agent Aloysius Pendergast - recently returned to New York - and Lieutenant Vincent D'Agosta find themselves investigating the murder of a friend when reporter William Smithback and his wife Nora are brutally attacked in their apartment. The assailant is identified by eyewitnesses as their strange, sinister neighbour - a man who, by all accounts, died ten days earlier.
Shunning the official inquiry, Pendergast and D'Agosta undertake their own private - and unorthodox - quest for the truth. Their journey takes them deep into the dark and mysterious underbelly of Manhattan, to a secretive, reclusive cult of Obeah and voodoo which no outsiders have ever survived...

While I enjoyed this book as a mystery/horror novel and found the characters relatable and likable, I was disappointed in the plot. I was somewhat confused in the middle because of the supernatural vibes I was getting but guessed the direction of the climax and the mastermind pretty straight away. Then again, I've never read any of the author's other works of this series and am therefore not as emotionally attached to characters and plot as other long-time fans and as a result the book just wasn't my cup of tea. I may, however, pick up the first novel to see what I missed.
