A vengeful Sioux spirit wreaks havoc in Minneapolis - When her children are kidnapped, in desperation Lily Blake seeks the services of a Sioux shaman, who summons up the Indian spirit, Wendigo, to find them. The price for this service is a spit of land that Lily's firm is selling for development land that once belonged to the Sioux. Lily is soon drawn into the destructive world of the Wendigo and learns to the detriment of those closest to her that you should never underestimate the power of a spirit betrayed . . .

Jackie Cassada - Library Journal

When the FBI fails to locate her two missing children after kidnappers attempted to burn her alive, real estate agent Lily Blake seeks help from PI John Shooks, who guarantees that a Sioux shaman he knows can find her children. Armed with only her desperation, Lily meets George Iron Walker and the blind shaman, Hazawin, who agree to help her in return for a piece of land sacred to the Sioux but scheduled for upscale development. Lily agrees to their bargain, not suspecting the high price she will have to pay when an ancient cannibal spirit is sent on the kidnappers' trail. Masterton's edge-of-the-seat storytelling and sympathetic characters make for a compelling read, though his body count is high and his gore quotient, though mostly described after the fact, may put off more sensitive readers. Libraries should purchase where the author has a following.
