Book excerpt: Book Summary When Special Agent Michael Smith—of the F.B.I.’s Unusual Occurrences Unit—is sent to investigate strange deaths that cannot be explained, he feels a trepidation that he cannot comprehend. His father had disappeared years earlier on a strange quest—the driving force of which Mike thought was superstitious idiocy. But when Mike meets Khalid, a Muslim scholar that had been with his father in the Middle East, all of the phenomena that Mike had earlier dismissed as Muslim mythology begin to intrude into his nearly perfect world. He discovers the existence of the Djinn, creatures of terrifying power and even more horrific intentions. As Mike begins to visit scenes with the same brutal deaths as before, he meets Bruce Wilson, a Dallas-based Medical Examiner; Sgt. Frank Stevens, a Dallas homicide detective; and many other survivors along the way, and develops relationships that prove themselves imperative to his sanity—and ultimately to his survival.
