In award-winning writer Dan Conover's modern fantasy novel "Bokur," three adult couples face the magikal question: If you could take possession of another person's body, and no one else would ever know, what would you do with that power? For Bonnie Wright, a precariously wealthy woman at a mid-life crossroads, her answers bring her face-to-face with a sly Haitain voudousant named Hector Savain. Savain is a bokur, a freelance voodoo practitioner who operates beyond the official sanction of the community's religious leaders, doing the dirty work that upstanding houngan priests would rather avoid. All bokurs walk the shadowlands at the boundary between right and wrong, but Savain is an aging trickster whose unique initiation into both Haitian voodoo and Western high magik gave him the freedom to grant dark powers his traditional voodoo peers cannot match. For while the voodoo faithful are routinely "ridden" by spirits, Savain has learned to harness that power on behalf of mortals. All of which was bound to cause trouble with the Haitian secret societies... and to attract the attention of mysterious North American clients with money and curiosity... Bonnie's accidental discovery of the powers bestowed on her by the bokur sends her on a series of seemingly harmless erotic explorations. But when one of her fellow participants in the bokur's ritual commits a seemingly senseless murder, fascination turns to fear. Plus, if we're truly nothing more than the sum of our choices, then what is Bonnie Wright about to become?
