The Four Faces

Book excerpt: In February 2006, four faces appear to Victor Hannah carved out of the storm clouds above his home in the tiny historic town of Annapolis, Maryland. The experience entangles him in a murder mystery involving the occult of the modern Western world and the traditional witch doctors of Africa. The murders involve several Western billionaires who all inexplicably die after returning home from overseas business trips. Victor's curiosity leads him to seek advice from a renowned psychic in Washington DC, who in turn introduces him to Jana Gordon, the beautiful daughter of one of the deceased men. Jana is determined to bring those responsible for the murders of her father and the other financiers to justice. The search for the cause of the mysterious deaths takes Victor, Jana, and her two undercover private detectives to the African country of Zimbabwe. There they are confronted with the dangers of the powerful magic of African witchcraft and a strange, evil creature that has been conjured to oppose them. Victor and Jana find evidence that links the murders to the legend of Chief Lobengula's hidden treasure of diamonds. But will they be able to capture those responsible and put an end to the evil scheme?
