The Pentagram Killer

Rayne Pilson investigates a murder in Los Angeles committed by a perverted killer know only as Dathen. Dathen lives in a supernatural world where the occult serves him well, and stays way ahead of the law. The chase moves rapidly from La to San Remus, Texas, where Pilson uncovers a real estate criminal conspiracy called the Cement Club where no-bid contracts are bought and paid for in cash, or in blood. Soon, Pilson has to enter the world of the paranormal to learn their secrets, and weaknesses. He engages a friendly witch who helps him with the art of spell casting, astral projection, and the Tarot card third eye, and is forced to use the poppet. Then, he proceeds to break up the Cement Club before he undertakes to take one last chance to bind Dathen and kill him, and rid the city of the spirits in the high places.
