Synopsis -
ASH: Return of the Beast is a modern-day supernatural crime thriller, a tale of revenge steeped in the occult. The story is a work of fiction inspired by a little known factoid about the death of Aleister Crowley (1875-1947), the notorious occultist the British press once labeled as "The Wickedest Man In The World". Crowley’s body was cremated but the unexplained 1947 disappearance of the urn containing his ashes has remained a mystery… until now.

This diabolical tale propels the reader through a series of curiously interconnected events spanning the years from 1947 (and the death of Aleister Crowley) to the 1990s and the coming-of-age (and eventual stardom) of a "death-metal" rocker with the unlikely name of Rodney Duckworth.

The time-line shifts to the present day where Brian Kane, a gruff and gritty street-worn Seattle Police Detective, reluctantly teams up with the mysterious Rowena Ravenwood, an attractive and rather unconventional female FBI agent assigned to a most unusual investigative unit. Their task is to figure out why good, healthy, God-fearing preachers in their fair city are suddenly dropping dead... one at a time... nine days apart.

What is the meaning of the strange symbols branded onto the bodies of these hapless victims? Are they all part of some bizarre cult? No eyewitnesses. No fingerprints. Is it really murder? Where’s the evidence? And what is the disturbing secret that Detective Kane is holding so close to his chest?

The investigation catapults Kane and Ravenwood headlong into life-threatening situations as they wind their way through the strange, dark labyrinth of the world of the occult and find themselves battling for their lives against the powerful forces of ritual magick.

A bloody carnage of unimaginable horror is about to be unleashed upon the world. The survival of the entire human race hangs in the balance and the clues to help solve the case are in desperately short supply. Worse yet, so is the amount of time left to stop the mysterious killer's reign of terror before all Hell breaks loose. And – according to Special Agent Ravenwood – that’s not just a figure of speech.

Hi Sofia, just checking on you. I know how busy we get this time of year but wanted to see if you finished the book?


Chris (rawr-reads) | 81 comments If you still need someone would love to see what the go is with Crowley. I've read some stories and watched a few videos regarding him in the past and would love to see what plot twists this author has to give us.

Gary Tenuta (code9) | 19 comments Sophia, shame on you for having a life! LOL
Looking forward to the review. I think. Actually, I'm always on pins and needles when I know a review is coming. But I shall gird my loins (does anyone still say that?) and take what's coming. :-)

Sofia | 15 comments I really enjoyed it so don't worry. I am so sorry for not putting up my review. there is no excuse but I really was busy...

Gary Tenuta (code9) | 19 comments No worries, Sofia. The past 3 or 4 weeks have been like that for me, too. Same with several friends on an email list that I belong to. Must be something in the air. :-)

Michele Miller (authormichelegmiller) | 747 comments Good to know the authors are a lot more forgiving than the mean ole moderator! Thanks Sophia for the update!

Gary- Stanley Tucci says that line in Devil Wears Prada and that is the last time I heard it however, I think it should make a comeback!

Gary Tenuta (code9) | 19 comments LOL! Streep was great in that movie! Here's a clip from that scene:

Tucci could have yelled "The Red Soles are coming! The Red Soles are coming!"

Gary Tenuta (code9) | 19 comments Hmm... Maybe it is making a comeback. I just now stumbled onto this headline:

"Chinese General Warns Troops To Gird For War"
http://www.scribd.com/doc/106262884/C...

Does that include their loins?
