Raga Six by Frank Lauria (New York: Bantam Books, 1972)
A black magic circle in the East Village of New York ... the bizarre death of a high-fashion model in a luxury apartment in Manhattan ... a renowned doctor whose beautiful travel companions suffer from a blood disease that is as strange as it is fatal. When Doctor Owen Orient, a prominent medical practitioner from New York, decides to close his practice and forego the usual luxury and comfort, his goal is to find a simpler, more meaningful way of life for himself. But Doc Orient is no ordinary person. For years he has studied the secrets of the occult and so now, although he is searching for simplicity, he finds himself deeply entangled in terrible events that challenge his scientific rationality and occult powers. An eerie riddle finally leads Doctor Orient to Tangier, Marrakech and Rome and to a confrontation with an ancient, all-consuming evil in which telepathy, telekinesis and even sex are the weapons in a mad fight to the death and beyond ...
RAGA SIX, Frank Lauria's first novel about Doc Orient, the master of the occult - a modern horror thriller in a class of its own
