HTML: When a circus-performer-turned-PI is drawn into the occult underworld, the result is "beautifully plotted and assured" (#1 New York Timesâ??bestselling author Peter Straub).
With a genius IQ, a past career as a circus acrobat, and a black belt in karate, criminology professor Dr. Robert Fredericksonâ??better known as "Mongo the Magnificent"â??has a decidedly unusual background for a private investigator. He also just so happens to be a dwarf.
Mongo needs all his faculties when he's hired to investigate a fellow professor who's been experimenting with sensory deprivation. Soon after, a nun asks him to help clear a psychic of murder. And then, weirdest of all, his seven-year-old neighbor, Kathy, begs him to locate her father's "Book of Shadows."
When Mongo finds Kathy's father dead from what seems to be a ritual sacrificeâ??and the little girl lying comatose nearbyâ??the distressed detective follows a trail of occult clues and discovers that all three of his cases are tied to something wicked. Now, to save Kathy from an unnatural end, Mongo will risk it all to separate the facts from something even stranger than fiction.
An Affair of Sorcerers is the 3rd book in the Mongo Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

Die Informationen stammen von der englischen "Wissenswertes"-Seite. Ändern, um den Eintrag der eigenen Sprache anzupassen. Channel 13, the PBS station for New York City, had been conducting its annual fund-raising auction, and my smart-ass brother had bought me a dozen tympani lessons with the Principal Tympanist of the New York Philharmonic; that was his idea of a practical joke. | |
