Mojo Hand (Special Warfare)

By Greg Kihn

Book Overview

It's 1977, ten years after Big Rock Beat, and Beau Young is back. Now he's playin' the blues-literally. As he tours smoky dives with blues legend Oakland Slim, he uncovers an evil voodoo plot to assassinate the remaining blues masters. But disco rules, so who cares about a few dead blues greats? Then legendary blues martyr Robert Johnson turns up alive forty-three years after his reported death, a victim of a New Orleans witch's zombie poison, not a jealous husband as originally reported. Beau knows Johnson could be the key to the murders. But Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil decades ago. With Beau's help he must return to the infamous crossroads of fate and seize his destiny. And both of them must confront the awesome power of the Mojo Hand.

Customer Reviews

Blues music and Voodoo make a great off-beat mystery!

I don't remember who first told me about Greg Kihn's first book "Horror Show," but it was a truly fortunate day since I have enjoyed reading each of his books since then. They are all a bit off-beat, with good plot lines told by a true storyteller. The characters are very human in their idiosyncrasies, having qualities that can be endearing and repulsive at the same time."Mojo Hand" has a really fun and interesting mix of mystery, music and voodoo. A bizarre combination that works well and keeps you fascinated until the very end. Entertaining, light, sometimes spooky-and highly recommended.

ANOTHER WINNER!!!!!!!!!!

THIS MAN IS WONDERFUL! HIS BOOKS ARE SO MUCH FUN YOU ALMOST FORGET THEY'RE SCARY! I LOVE YOU GREG! KEEP IT UP!

An inventive plot packed with unexpected twists and turns.

As legendary blues players gather to promote the genre, a complex plot weaves around a Louisiana witch woman with a powerful 'mojo hand', an albino who is set on murder, and a lost bluesman Robert Johnson who returns from the seeming dead for his grand finale. Murder and supernatural suspense blend in a plot packed with unexpected twists and turns - hard to put down; highly recommended.
