Description
Mysterious symbols written in the blood of murder victims; a respected government official no longer in possession of his own will; a High Priest clever enough to work the political system and ruthless enough to dispatch anyone who gets in its way.
The list of challenges facing Namzu, High Priest of Eridu, is as long as it is daunting. Skilled in the dual arts of investigation and judicial enforcement, Namzu must navigate an ancient world of superstition, myth, and intrigue; a world in which demigods from Atlantis walk among mere mortals; a world inhabited by loyal servants, simple fishermen, mythological cannibals, and unparalleled evil.
Unbeknownst to him, the dark hand of vile corruption has swiftly taken hold and ready to unleash unspeakable evil upon what was previously the peaceful, well-ordered city-state of Eridu in ancient Mesopotamia. With the help of a mystical people known as the Anunnaki and one loyal house servant, Namzu will need every arrow in his investigative quiver to track down and stop the power behind the murders before it’s too late.

Just the book which I really like to read.
The book is about a demon who controls the Sanga of Eridu, which makes him do the evil deeds. The demon along with seven others were trapped in the underworld with the help of spells used by the higher priests but one of these big demons become loose and start controlling the minds of people.
He even results in the death of En Ipqu-aya, the highest priest in the hierarchy. He was like the ruler of Eridu. The demon could only be trapped again by banishing him with his true name which was only known by heavenly figures like gods, but in a reward the true name is being acknowledged by Arwi-a, wife of sanga so that he can tell this name to the other who she was very close to so that he can defeat the demon.
Just quite amazing read. Just obsessed with the series by Ravek Hunter.
