An oil rig accident changes John Eyre forever. He roams Honduras and Guatemala, damaged and lost, yet psychically sensitive. When a village's protective god is stolen, even before they appeal to the big foreigner for help, the indignant deity has already recruited him. John is joined in the search by a reluctant ex, lodgers from a London guesthouse and a girl with a unique jade stone. He will need all the help he can get. Awakening other unearthly powers along the way, the missing god, Maximon, is a trickster. novel 550 pages
