The Dominic Grey Novels

review 1: Be prepared to be trust into ritualistic torture and murder. Avoid, if you have a weak stomach. This is the first Layton Green book I've read and, wow, it's unbelievable. We meet the stoic Dominic Grey, Diplomatic Security with the US Embassy in Harare, Zimbabwe. The beautiful Nya working for the Zimbabwean Ministry of Foreign Affairs is teamed with Grey to find a retired head of Consular services of the US Embassy in Harare who disappeared after attending an Yorubo ceremony. The services of Prof. Viktor Radek, a professor of religious phenomonology is sought and together, these three main characters dive into the dark and deadly underbelly of ancient Nigerian witchcraft known as Juju. This book is action packed and littered with graphically detailed ritualistic torture sc... moreenes that makes you wish you could "unread" certain parts of the book. It gives a descriptive view of alternative religious beliefs that the average man would consider parlour tricks or voodoo. Green has definitely set the bar with this one and I'm looking forward to the next book in the series, The Egyptian.
review 2: Another great Dominic Grey / Professor Viktor Radek novel. It is fun to take an action packed and intellectually stimulating whodunit and wrap it around esoteric religious cult practices. This one takes place in Zimbabwe. This was the first of Layton Green's Dominic Grey series so his character development was not as developed as in The Diabolist. This was a fun read, gripping to the end. I look forward to reading The Egyptian, the second in the series. less
