VODOUN

“I just killed a man, but I’m not a murderer.”
He’s Ray Falco, a Washington D.C. journalist living in burnt-out seclusion until a surprising force – Vodoun – draws him into a murder investigation that spans the centuries, from the Haitian revolution in 1973, to the present.
Falco’s adventures propel him into the world of Haitian exile politics, whose inhabitants blend religion with. :
–Faustin Gabriel, an enigmatic art gallery owner whose sleek exterior masks his true identity.
–Carmen Mondesir, the director of a Haitian charity, a woman torn by violent contradictions.
–Lucy Marcelin, a beautiful, Haitian-born lawyer who guides Falco through a world few outsiders ever see.
Against the backdrop of Haitian elections, where the gods of Vodoun wield as much influence as the voters, these four fates intertwine… and Ray Falco realizes that only Vodoun can save him.
