The Maenad’s God, by Karen Michalson.
Special Agent, Pete Morrow, a disgruntled and alienated FBI agent whose only joy comes from reading literary classics, leans back luxuriously in his dangerously, unstable swivel chair. As he contemplates the loveliness of his pale green cinder block office with its fresh sprinkling of asbestos dust, he decides that its best to try and breathe as slowly as he can without passing out! At least it’s preferable to report writing, or dying of asbestosis before boredom gets him first. Such is the devilishly exciting life that awaits Pete with monotonous regularity until he discovers Jade McClellan and his rock band.
When the boss packs Morrow off to an obscure army base near Rome, New York, to deal with a drug dealer, he stumbles upon a macabre murder and is introduced to Jade whose rock band just performed a gig on the base. In this engrossing and credible synergy of supernatural and fantastical elements, Karen Michalson expertly weaves an epic tale that will resonate with her readers.
𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘢𝘦𝘯𝘢𝘥’𝘴 𝘎𝘰𝘥 is a seamless blend of myth, humour, magic and realism with a hefty dollop of dark satire and romance. The living fantasies created by Jade, an embodiment of myth and literature, become the only thing of value to Special Agent Pete Morrow in his search for the murderer. This psychological thriller with a bunch of quirky characters will entertain readers and keep you invested till the last page as the ongoing war, fought for thousands of years between the ancient arts, continues to rage and threaten the balance of the universe. I have no hesitation in awarding 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘢𝘦𝘯𝘢𝘥’𝘴 𝘎𝘰𝘥 by Karen Michalson, 𝐟𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐟𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐬.
