Ritual of the Savage

It's the long, hot summer of 1958 and struggling private eye Johnny Davis embarks on a seemingly routine missing person case which drags him out of his comfort zone of sharp suits, bottle blondes and Tiki bars into a nightmare world of mind-altering drugs, deception and murder. From the cocktail lounges and beatnik clubs of LA to the desert resort of Palm Springs and the island paradise of Hawaii, Johnny is forced to choose between country and conscience, love and lust, and life and death.
Ritual of the Savage is Jay Strongman's groundbreaking Tiki Noir novel, a compelling blend of pulp fiction and drug-fueled madness-a hard-boiled tale of craziness that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
