Jack is hired for two cases - to help a nun who is being blackmailed, and to discover what is going on with the son of a wealthy woman. The latter has become a member of a cult that is rather like the Scientologists. However, this lot is worse than just being a brainwashing bunch of scuzzbucket usurers. These are connected to the 'Other' and fancy a bit of human sacrifice and other horrific schemes. Jack has an ally, a reporter investigating the cult, but may be in over his head. Because of the two cases, this entry is a little longer, it seems. http://notfreesf.blogspot.com/2009/03... A nun is being blackmailed by an old enemy, and Jack is hired to locate a young man who has disappeared into the Dormentalist Church, headquartered in NYC. The cult turns out to have ties to the Otherness. Either this series is getting progressively darker, or the cumulative weight of all the deaths of innocents is getting to me. I'll keep reading, but I need a bit of a break first. The 8th book in the Repairman Jack series, this seems more like a big build up for things to come. Normally the Jack novels can stand on their own if need be, but this one pulls a lot from the past and appears to be setting the stage for the future... Now to I guess I have to order in The Last Rakosh: A Repairman Jack Tale, which they are calling #9, though it’s actually an older story reprinted. no reviews | add a review
