Publisher's Synopsis
Beverly Hills detective Art Murry has seen it all - or so he thinks. Then he's handed the grisly decapitation of Julia Garoute - his big ticket to regaining his reputation as a hot shot homicide detective. But can he and his rookie partner, Billy "the Kid," solve the crime before another detective steals the case and the glory - specifically the cop who broke up Murry's marriage? If a new partner and the threat of losing the case aren't enough, Julia's headless corpse leads Murry into the murky world of a secret voodoo society - one where potions, powders, and black magic make him question his sanity. When the trail leads to Haiti, a 20-year-old murder, and motives of revenge, Murry must unravel what's real and what's not before his partner becomes another victim of the deadly sorcerer whose touch can kill.
