   "Ritual of the Savage" by Jay Strongman was given to me as a new year's present on a Friday, and by Saturday I had not only started it but finished the last chapter. It is captivating! I love 50's Americana and this book brings you right into that era, combining the fictitious adventures (I presume) of our Private eye with real people, sounds and events of the late 50's.
   
   Although this is a detective novel, it doesn't have the one-dimensional characters so often found in this genre. Instead, we are introduced to a rather complex set of characters, sometimes likable, sometimes flawed, but always interesting, and the story moves forward at a fast pace.
   
   While reading "The Ritual of the Savage", I could easily imagine the locations described as the main character Johnny Davis travels between L.A, Palm Springs and Hawaii. Although I wasn't even born in the 50's, the pages came to life in a way that I could see, feel and smell a long gone era.
   
   I'm hoping this is just the first in a series. We need more adventures of Johnny Davis from author Jay Strongman. If you, like me, are into 50's Americana, you will enjoy this book.
