Sins of the Fathers

Book 1 of the Gabriel Knight series

Gabriel Knight, a horror novelist, is no stranger to the occult. The Voodoo Murders are spreading fear through his native New Orleans. His interest in them is more than professional—it brings back memories of a terrible nightmare that has haunted his sleep since he was a teen.

His inexplicable attration to a beautiful woman surrounded by voodoo lore and mystery leads him much too close to an ancient curse and its deadly threat. To escape its diabolical evil, Gabriel, in a race against time and vile magics, must find the key to his survival...a key hidden in a shocking family history.
