A bizarre murder in a quiet Portland neighborhood.
And that’s not the strange part.

Within hours, the TV news departments are vying for ratings. The press quickly whips up hysteria with cries of "occult crime" and "Satanic murder."

With panic swelling, what can the Satanists do but find the killer, and clear themselves? The leadership of the Ruby Grotto of the Stealer of Dreams steps up to the challenge.

And it’s only reasonable that they enlist the aid of that mysterious occult cabal –- the Swami Mafia –- that meets to divide up the rubes, suckers, and honest seekers of enlightenment of northwest Oregon. They’re friendly enemies who understand that none of their fellow Swamis is quite what they appear.

Investigating this murder, the Swamis soon find their secrets and lies are nothing compared to those of "normal" people.

Join the conspiracy with researcher Joel Bowman, Ruby Grotto Officiant Zalman LaTrobe, daughter Shaneen LaTrobe, and Joel’s human-hating cat Marvin as they untangle the web of deceit and madness, tight-lipped Federal agents, and (of course) the Swami Mafia – never forgetting that ancient Satanic mantra:

The show must go on!

Hmm. I'd like to say hello and to let you know that I plan to purchase your book. Mostly for the name similarity, but also because I enjoy your wit. If you'd like to discuss the possibility that we're related, you can email me at poopieraven@hotmail.com.

Hi Anthony, I was reading about your book on this and I was wondering if it was at Barnes or if it has to be ordered. Thanks Judy
