After his mother’s death, Tony is left with a strange bequest, that has him questioning just how well he knew his mother. The mysterious collection of items leads him to investigate an organization that is interested in an obscure branch of fortune-telling that uses human skulls to develop their predictions. This was a fast-paced paranormal mystery that reminded me a lot of The Da Vinci Code. The story alternates between three different time period’s narratives. You aren’t quite sure what is real and what’s not, or who you can really trust until the very end, but it is all delivered with just enough real fact to make it entirely believable. Tony is a colorful character, bouncing back and forth between his various lady friends, as he slowly unravels the whole story. Very entertaining read. I’m not sure how I feel about the ending—I felt it was a bit sinister, but perhaps in a good way.
