Tropic Of Night

Jane Doe lives in the shadows under an assumed name. A once-promising anthropologist and an expert on shamanism, everyone thinks she's dead. Or so she hopes.

Jimmy Paz is a Cuban-American police detective. Straddling two cultures, he understands things others cannot.

When the killings start -- a series of ritualistic murders -- all of Miami is terrified. Especially Jane. She knows the dark truth that Jimmy must desperately search to uncover. As their lives slowly interconnect, Jane and Paz are soon caught in a cataclysmic battle between good and an evil as unimaginable as it is terrifying . . .

The first book in the Jimmy Paz trilogy is a tightly plotted, dramatic, and atmospheric novel, mixing anthropology, the occult, random violence, and murder in a twisting tale that takes us on an exotic trip through the locales of Mali, Siberia, Nigeria, and Miami. It's the story of a directionless graduate student who, via questionable choices in boyfriends, gets sucked into the world of Shamanism. After exposure to sects in both Siberia and Nigeria, she discovers her own abilities to commune with the spirits. But it is her new husband's transformation into a mythical shaman that send her running back to her life in the States. She adopts an anonymous existence living as Jane Doe in the underclass of Miami's streets. Her asylum is short-lived as the husband comes looking for her.
