Produktbeschreibung

"I just killed someone, but I'm not a murderer"

Vodoun -- to Americans who know it as voodoo, the religion is an exotic superstition; to a Haitian, a way of life, the source of hope, fear and power. But in a shrinking world, the borders between myth and reality can blur, with terrifying consequeces.

Ray Falco. Once a prominent, prize-winning D.C. journalist, now he's a burn-out case.. He's fitfully enjoying semiretirement, until a mysterious force draws him to the scene of a murder that looks ore like the leavings of a Haitian vodoun ritual, more than a drug killing. Against his will, Falco becomes a reporter again, probing the disappearce of Jean-Mars Baptiste a firebrand Haitian politician.. His investigation leads him into the mysterious world of Haitian exile politics, and to the Haitian revolution, the first succesful slave revolt in history. He realizes his fate is tied to Haiti's past, and only vodoun can save him.

Autorenporträt

David Madsen is the author of three novels: Black Plume: The Suppressed Memoirs of Edgar Allan Poe, that imagines Poe's life as the inspiration for his dark tales; U.S.S.A. an alternative history detective story set in American-occupied Russia; and Vodoun, a mystery that blends the political drama of present day Haiti with the Haitian revolution against Napoleon's France.

He is a produced screenwriter, with credits that include Copycat, the Warner Brothers thriller starring Sigourney Weaver and Holly Hunter

He is writing a new mystery set in San Francisco during the turbulent 1970s, and he often visits a display case in the SF library to pay his respects to Dashiell Hammett's typewriter.
