Fiction. Mystery. HTML: "A big crime novel. . . . Stone has a grand story to tell, and he does it with panache. It's the story of a city and an era (the Reagan reference isn't gratuitous), at once hilarious and tragic. It's a story filled with characters that range from honorable to morally ambiguous to frighteningly evil. It's filled with voodoo rituals, crooked cops, street life, and wrenching descriptions. . . .

Not bad- entertaining enough. It was weird to me that I read 2 books about voodoo and zombies within about 4 weeks of each other. This book is written by a Brit and set in 1981 Miami. I often found myself wondering if what he was writing was based in any sort of truth or if it was all a perception he has of that time period - but that's neither here nor there. It's an easy fun read and if you're looking for some mindless entertainment, then check it out. (

I found this book at the dollar store. It seems like it might be a good book

A bone-chilling novel set in the 80's, beautifully portrayed by Stone. He drags us into a scary world of tarots and black magic. His characters are powerful and I sympatized with them from the very beginning, and not only with the "stars" dectective Max Mingus and his partner Joe, but also with "villains" like, for example, the pimp Carmine Desamours.
I lost a lot of sleeping hours to get to the end. One of the most exciting thriller I've ever read. (
