Started out slow and initially I struggled with the different character perspectives, but I'm so glad I stuck with it. Gruber is an excellent writer and really knows how to capture a sense of urgency and fear. The Olo are an invented tribe and he uses a LOT of foreign words, which I also struggled with, but the glossary in the back helped. Really good police procedural mixed with occult thriller.
