Private Demons

By: Robert Masello

Narrated by: Paul Boehmer

Everyone hides a secret from the past...but Lucien's secret is inescapable. A living thing that has followed him across the world, from the horrors of Southeast Asia to the penthouse suites of the rich and famous. Everyone craves money, power, and sex...but Lucien can satisfy his every urge, every decadent impulse, every erotic whim - for a price. Everyone has private demons...but Lucien's demon is all too real. All too powerful. All too hungry...for human souls.

Private Demons

Private Demons of men in general or in particular kept going through my thoyghts.
A little thing...juijitsy, aikido and karate are Japanese martial arts while Thai boxing is Muy Thai.

Early Masello

Robert Masello is a very good writer. He improves with each book. That said, this is an older book. It lacks some of the slickness and smooth writing style that has become his trademark style.

The story is interesting as it travels some rarely seen territory. In this case, demons from the Thai pantheon. Definitely creepy stuff. There is an under current of corruption versus redemption at the story's core. While not quite as slick as his later books, this is still very good and I recommend it to his fans.

caveat: Probably not his younger fans due to the imagery and one pretty graphic scene regarding a perverse sex/fetish show. Let's just say that you would not want to play this part at work without headphones.

A must listen!

Historically, fright filled, and mystically entertaining. I thought the Bible was deep and mysterious, this takes it a step further.
