Summary :

From B&N Review: In this great suspense by Dean Koontz we follow two detectives, Jack Dawson and Rebecca Chandler, as they try to uncover the horrifying murders that are going on to the Carramazzaas. The Carramazzaas are a family of drug dealers, whose killer is supposedly rats. But how could rats get away with murder or even commit such an act of violence and not even leave a trace? Soon Jack believes that these killings could just very well be the act of voodoo. Carter Hampton, a man who practices good voodoo, helps Jack uncover their culprit, Baba Levelle. Soon those “creatures” of Baba’s are after Detective Dawson’s children, Penny and Davey. As soon as Jack finds out that Lavelle is after his kids, he tries to hide them, but that didn’t work. As they encounter these creatures we find out that they can’t touch Jack, that they’re afraid to be near him. As Jack gets help from Carver, Rebecca, Penny, and Davey decided that they might be safe if they get in a cathedral, but they were wrong. This book keeps you on your toes the whole way through. If you’re into suspense mixed with the supernatural you’ll love this read!

Once I got past skepticism about voodoo, I enjoyed the book.

Recommendation: If you enjoy Dean Koontz's style of fiction, you will enjoy this book. I liked the characters in the book.
