The Witch of Matongé

by Madison Smartt Bell

"Trouble is brewing in the more turbulent quartiers of Paris - jihad, robberies, Vodou, and a ménage á trois gone very wrong. From a distance, the all-knowing Witch of Matongé watches the players as they walk the boulevards and back alleys of a city freighted with history, intrigue, and desire. Madison Smartt Bell weaves the tale masterfully, leaving readers wondering what could possibly happen next in this dark thriller reminiscent of Graham Greene, Alan Furst, and Jean Rhys."--back cover.
