From Publishers Weekly:
With an agreeable, medium-boiled tone, this first entry in a projected series features ex-CIA agent B. F. Hopper, who is called on for help by a friend in the Boulder, Colo., police when a member of a Buddhist sangha (congregation) is killed and brutally mutilated. Then another member is killed and differently disfigured. Just after Hopper realizes that a key may lie in the Buddhist chakras (energy centers), the nastiness threatens his new lover. On the trail of a satanic cult, Hopper is aided by old mentor (and deus ex machina) Stryker Stephens and by the super-rich father of the first victim. The climactic scene amid the satanists is a bit pat but the procedural elements are well handled and the killer is chillingly deranged. With the weltschmerz kept under control, Hopper could become an admirable hero-narrator.
