R. Allen Downey once again reminds his readers what an unexpected bombshell a book can turn out to be. In Pirate Queen: The Curse Downey uses all kinds of “goodies” such as pirates, British M16 secret agents possessing telekinetic powers, Jewish ghosts or dybbuks, a ghastly torture chamber used at the time of the Spanish Inquisition, ghouls, and voodoo curses. All of these and a host of other props stream together on the pages of this spellbinding novel to create a mesmerizing yarn that seems to live and breathe on its own.  In fact, this is one work of fiction you won’t just put down and forget about it once you have completed its reading for you will certainly want to hash it over with your friends.
