Andrew Mayne's latest Jessica Blackwood novel has
some new magic tricks of its
own. In the NAME OF THE DEVIL, Mayne uses again his
knowledge of magic to
write an exceptional mystery about Jessica Blackwood a FBI
agent who outwits
her peers to solve crimes. With her family background as
magicians she thinks
outside the box to find answers, helping her to imagine
how a crime was
performed to look like something it's not and to guess
what the criminal's next
move will be. That makes his novels different than your
average mystery writer!
Jessica Blackwood has to find out why a church blew up
with a few selective
of the town's citizens and who was behind it. This will be
a start to the long list
of bizarre, unexplainable happenings that seem to make
less sense as Jessica
investigates. With all the shenanigans of the Devil, this
leads her to consider that
it is much more than what someone wants everyone to
believe. There is a person
with a vengeance and it's up to her to find out whom that
it is.
NAME OF THE DEVIL really has some great suspenseful parts.
My favorites were within
Jessica's travels to other parts of the world. You must
read to see where that
might be. The storyline is amazing and I love how Andrew
Mayne would give us
flashbacks of Jessica's childhood. These flashbacks played
an important part of
her solving her case like in the first Jessica
Blackwood novel. NAME OF THE DEVIL
is one novel you will not want to miss this summer!
In this electrifying sequel to the crowd-pleasing thriller
Angel Killer, magician-turned-FBI agent Jessica Blackwood
must once again draw on her past to go up against a brutal
murderer desperate for revenge at any price.
After playing a pivotal role in the capture of the
Warlock, a seemingly supernatural serial killer—and
saving the FBI’s reputation in the process—agent
Jessica Blackwood can no longer ignore the world she left
behind. Formerly a prodigy in a family dynasty of
illusionists, her talent and experience endow her with a
unique understanding of the power and potential of
deception, as well as a knack for knowing when things are
not always as they appear to be.
When a church congregation vanishes under mysterious
circumstances in rural Appalachia, the bizarre trail of
carnage indicates the Devil’s hand at work. But Satan
can’t be the suspect, so FBI consultant Dr. Ailes and
Jessica’s boss on the Warlock case, Agent Knoll, turn to
the ace up their sleeve: Jessica. She’s convinced that
an old cassette tape holds the key to the mystery, and
unraveling the recorded events reveals a troubling act
with far-reaching implications. The evil at work is
human, and Jessica must follow the trail from West
Virginia to Mexico, Miami, and even the hallowed halls of
the Vatican.
Can she stop a cold-blooded killer obsessed by a mortal
sin—or will she become the next target in a twisted,
diabolical game of hunter and prey…?
