Isaiah Boltrey, known to his friends as Bolt, has just returned to Maine from Kenya where he was working with an NGO, and where, he believes, an enemy has had him bewitched. Suffering from strange physical ailments, he begins seeing both an African shaman and a psychiatrist, and also renews an affair with an old girlfriend. All the while he is being stalked by a mysterious Arab woman, who reveals herself to be a powerful and dangerous jinn, and who has an assignment for him he cannot refuse. Returning to Mombasa, he finds himself entangled in webs of conspiracy, both political and magical, that threaten not only his own life but the lives of people he loves.

“Whether it’s home in Maine or off to take on the world, Art Dingley’s novels grip you by the ears, haul you in close, and YOU. ARE. THERE. The people are real, standing before you, speaking and…wait! Did I say REAL? Are magical jinns real? Sure. Dingley can make you believe.” –Carolyn Chute, author of The Beans of Egypt Maine, Merry Men, and the School On Heart’s Content Road series.
