What if there was a bar where spirits can enter your inebriated body and use it until you sober up? Well such a bar exists in Stanley Park, where the city's mayor has been murdered, his family missing, a dangerous witch has been released from her centuries-old imprisonment and an intriguing and extraordinary shaman shows up, only to vanish after leaving cryptic clues.

Very nice descriptions, good dialogue, a thinking man's book but one that can be read entirely for pleasure.

The Lure is a well-crafted story that builds suspense through flowing narrative, life-like characters, and believable dialogue.

As I followed Carol's foray into the realm of shamanism, I realized that it took a special touch to pull off a complicated plot the way you did. Your prose was concise, powerfully descriptive, the dialogue lively, and your photographic mastery of the fixtures and streets in Vancouver's hub, in clear evidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Kenneth Edward Lim\/The North Korean\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarol, the head detective, has to solve several murder cases: with many twists and turns. There's Shamans, Animal Spirits, and \"The Lure\" thrown in for good measure. No wonder, Carol wanted to resign! Yes, this novel is a roller-coaster ride, with the author cleverly hinting along the way, ending with a roller coaster ride! Read this book. It is different. It's as if Elmore Leonard has risen as a shaman, to guide others to write about Indian lore.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Nancy Bridgeman\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frank Talaber\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8215259162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798215259160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Frank Talaber\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/14\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.57d","brand":"Frank Talaber","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46670529724671,"sku":"9798215259160","price":22.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-lure-frank-talaber-9798215259160","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
