Description

"Hallowfest, an outdoor pagan festival held every October in upstate New York, attracts all kinds of people, not to mention a few curious onlookers and the occasional protester. But when a local resident is mysteriously murdered, Bast (a.k.a. Karen Hightower) finds that her suspects include several modern-day witches, and enigmatic magician, a gun-toting survivalist, a dominatrix, an incorrigible ex-boyfriend, and even a few would-be Klingons. Can Bast discover which witch dunit - before the entire festival falls under a cloud of suspicion?"--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Local notes

Set at a Pagan Festival in the country outside NYC, this is the third Bast mystery. This time, an evangelical minister is the murder victim. Snarky and cynical in tone, it nonetheless realistically protrays many aspects of the Neopagan scene.
