Summary
Daniel Easterman: The Seventh Night
Set in the timeless underground of Brooklyn and Haiti, THE SEVENTH NIGHT is a harrowing tale of ancient voodoo ritual and modern political conspiracy. Angelina Hammel, a beautiful Haitian artist, returns home to Brooklyn from her trip abroad to find blood stains on the carpet. Under the floorboards are the bodies of a group of voodoo practitioners, who turn out to have been buried alive. Bewildered by fear, Angelina goes to the police. Brooklyn-born street-savvy cop Reuben Abrams takes on the case. Abrams ventures into one of the most desperate, drug-infested parts of Brooklyn to find clues, and uncovers a shocking connection between Angelina's obsession with the past and some of the nation's most powerful and influential leaders. But by then it's too late - he's captivated by Angelina and will follow her into the heart of her birthplace to discover a world of ritual torture from which, perhaps, there is no way out.
