The Anointing

Rating:
Summary: Ifa priest writes "Christian" thriler
Review: "John and David Fenyes" is the combined pen name of the brothers John and David Wilson. I know zilch about the former, but the latter is internationally known as Awo Fa'Lokun Fatunmbi, a "babalawo" or priest in the African-born Ifa religion. Fa'Lokun is an American, living in Oakland, California, where he runs his own Ile or "Ifa House". I once knew him well, and I am not at all surprised that he managed to write a pretty good spiritually charged thriller about a religious subject. Mysteries are not alien to Fa'Lokun/Fenyes/Wilson, and he's a great spinner of yarns. I read "The Anointing" in one (very!) prolonged sitting. It's worth buying.
