Manhattan Pharaoh: A Novel Of Witchcraft

New York City. Where else could the powers of witchcraft be unleashed and go unnoticed...until the body count begins? "Giles saw a newspaper on the table in front of the older detective. He scanned the story, 'Office Worker Goes Berserk, Kills Four'. Except for mentioning 'bloodbath' and 'massacre' throughout, it stuck to facts. He felt like he was reading about some other office, some other murders...."

Buried in the bowels of lower Manhattan is an office building where workers find life far from ordinary. The thirteenth floor is a place of secrets and hidden crimes, a breeding ground of ancient plagues thought to have vanished from the earth. It is a malevolent place where one young man, Giles Corey, must find the key to a loved one's disappearance and bring to an end the evil influence of the man known as the Manhattan Pharaoh.

But Giles's personal quest for justice and vengeance is threatened by the mysterious and beautiful Alma, a woman whose passionate love could rob him of his miraculous abilities...and destroy him.

"In "Manhattan Pharaoh, Robert Amsel plays on our fears and fascinations with witchcraft and the supernatural to grip us, bell, book, and candle."
