Too often people mistake monsters for gods. When a ravaged corpse
is discovered in Pretoria, South Africa, Esmé Snyder—an
occult-crime expert—is called in to investigate. But she doesn't
know the scope of what she's up against. Esmé is the target of a
cat-and-mouse game with a serial killer who uses the paranormal to
do his bidding, with the intent of becoming a god on Earth. With
assistance from her team—a brusque detective, eccentric
millionaire, stoic priest, hawkeyed secretary, and handsome British
forensic criminologist—Esmé hopes to find the killer before he
strikes again. But the clock isn't all that's working against them.
The media catches wind of the threat against the citizens of
Pretoria, and their reported speculations promise a post-Apartheid
Satanic Panic. As the body count grows, Esmé must figure out who
is behind the heinous crimes before she ends up the final
sacrifice. Dark Country highlights the multicultural mythologies,
magic, histories, beauty, and horror of living in pseudo-modern
South Africa.
