Who do you turn to when you're a nun trying to save a faith healer accused of a murder he didn't commit? Or a university dean who believes one of his professors is mixed up in some very shady business? Or a dying little girl with only fifty seven cents worth of saved milk money who needs to hire a sleuth?

The Answer to all three questions is Dr. Robert "Mongo" Frederickson, former circus tumbler turned criminologist and the toughest dwarf detective you'll find. Mongo is mixed up in all three cases and lives are at stake. The key to all of them seems to be a ceremonial magician's coven and their mysterious leader, Esobus. But as Mongo begins to investigate, he's told to back off, as it is "an affair of sorcerers".

An Affair of Sorcerers is an action-packed adventure with a hero who's as exciting and different as his cases. Fans of occult mysteries and offbeat thrillers will sure to be pleased with this edition to Mongo's exploits.

Plenty of action…the bright, indestructible Mongo suddenly finds himself with three cases at once, all involving the occult: Witchcraft, magicians, tarot cards.

New York Times Book Review

The charming dwarf detective is thrown a handful of challenges in a book noteworthy for it's clever dialogue and fluid action.

New York Daily News

In An Affair of Sorcerers, a little girl is put into a coma by occultists and Mongo must consult astrologers, witches and magicians for a possible cure. His quest becomes "an occult suspense fantasy, splendidly pulpish, but great fun all the same," according to the Library Journal reviewer.

Gale Research

A delightful hero in a great series of suspense thrillers.
