When Peace Corps Volunteer Michael Killigan goes missing the people in his life react very differently. His father, Randall, a high powered bankruptcy lawyer, throws money and power at the situation, hoping he doesn't have to get his hands too dirty with his son's failings. Meanwhile, best friend, Boone Westfall, does the exact opposite. He throws himself headlong into the West African world of witch doctors and supernatural voodoo. Interestingly enough, the voodoo comes to Indiana. Randall receives a strange package; a bundle of black rags soaked in what looks like human blood. And that's when the hallucinations start. Meanwhile, across the world the Liberian rebels are taking over Sierra Leone, corruption is leaking out from every corner. Secret societies of leopard men, bush devils, human baboons and witches prevail. In the midst of it all one question still remains, what happened to Peace Corps volunteer Michael Killigan?

Prix et récompenses
"A bravura display of satire . . . Dooling evokes the humane checks and balances of a deep world: the logic, you might say, of its magic."--Richard Eder, Los Angeles Times Book Review "The book is absolutely astonishing; I am a Richard Dooling fan for life."--Phillip M. Margolin, author of Gone, But Not Forgotten "The author's fizz of comic energy is as wild and scornful as Richard Condon's."--Time Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
