The Summoner is the first in the Dominic Grey series. Grey is a former Marine and Jujitsu expert working for the U.S. government and is presently stationed in Zimbabwe. A U.S. diplomat goes missing during a religious ceremony. His boss gives him the case. He’s introduced to Professor Viktor Radek and Nya Mashumba and told he must with them. Radek is an expert on cults and Mashumba works with the local government. Grey’s religious doubts are brought to the forefront in this case.
It contains vivid descriptions to transport the reader to Zimbabwe. In fact, if you have a squeamish stomach you may want to skip this and read The Egyptian instead. Some of the voodoo rituals involved people, animals, and a flaying knife with meticulous descriptions. There are fight and love scenes so there’s a little bit for every reader.
I’m reading the second book in the series, The Egyptian, and should have a review posted later today.
Today and tomorrow, in celebration of The Egyptian‘s release, both ebooks in the Dominic Grey series are available for 99 cents on Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
Everyone seems to love this book!
Good book. If you like books like this, you might also enjoy Miss Garrote by Victoria Newhope.
