The 5th Witch

"Black magic, mobsters and evil witches hold La La Land hostage, making Masterton's latest batch of chills and chuckles scarier than a writers' strike." —Publishers Weekly

From Graham Masterton, the bestselling author of the Katie Maguire series, comes an unputdownable story of a deadly alliance between LA gangsters and terrifying witches . . .

A ruthless new crime syndicate holds Los Angeles in a grip of terror. Anyone who opposes it suffers a horrible death . . . but not at human hands.

Bizarre accidents, sudden illnesses, inexplicable and gruesome deaths: the mobsters will stop at nothing to eliminate their enemies. Every bloody step of the way, their companions are four mysterious women, witches who wield more power than the gangsters could ever dream of.

With the help of his mysteriously gifted neighbor, Annie Conjure, Detective Dan Fisher must fight both the LAPD's skepticism and this chilling new power. And at the heart of the nightmare lies the final puzzle, the secret of . . . The 5th Witch.

For readers of Angela Clarke, Peter James and Stephen King, this gripping novel from the legendary Graham Masterton will leave you reeling.
