Chapter 1
It was funny how mass murder could put the brakes on a thriving tourism trade. The bottom fell out of the Union Island jerk-chicken industry in a big way. Cart-pusher Jerome Churchill Hanger watched his business prospects crumble, along with the local economy.
Everything had been going gangbusters for a couple of years, with tens of thousands of visitors coming to the island. Resorts were built. The one and only town on the island was given the fall quaint treatment: cobblestone street paving, brand-new, antique-looking streetlamps, a fresh updating of old-fashioned building facades. It all looked so inviting in the travel brochures and on Web sites.
But those improvements made the contrast more alarming when the photos of bloody corpses were broadcast on the global news stations.

Résumé
Breaking up is hard to do . . . especially if you're Kali, an ancient Hindu goddess with unfinished business and a desire to rule the world through the immutable powers of her old boyfriend, Shiva the Destroyer. She's found the perfect vassal, a woman named Dawn Summens, who bounced back from the dead with everything intact except her sanity. Now she's the high priestess of a wild new cult called "Remo" on the voodoo-friendly island of Haiti, where all hell is breaking loose.
Before Remo can sort out sex-crazed cultists from the purely evil deities, he's lured into the lair of the lovely Dawn, losing a battle with self-control that could be the beginning of the end. Chiun, too, is losing her own battle against an old enemy with the power to challenge, perhaps even defeat, Sinanju. Can anything stop Remo from becoming the Destroyer of old, with all the power - channelled through his ancient lover, Kali - to destroy the world?
