About the Author
In addition to writing, Layton Green was a practicing attorney for the better part of a decade. He has also traveled to more than fifty countries, and has been an intern for the United Nations, an ESL teacher in Central America, a bartender in London, a seller of cheap knives on the streets of Brixton, a door to door phone book deliverer, and the list goes downhill from there.
Layton is also the Kindle bestselling author of The Summoner, the first work in a globe-hopping suspense series whose protagonists investigate the world’s most bizarre and dangerous cults. See below for more information on The Summoner, and please visit Layton at www.laytongreen.com for a free sample and more. Look for The Immortalist, the next novel in the Dominic Grey series, coming soon.
The Summoner
A United States diplomat disappears in front of hundreds of onlookers while attending a religious ceremony in the bushveld of Zimbabwe.
Dominic Grey, Diplomatic Security special agent, product of a violent childhood and a worn passport, is assigned to investigate. Aiding the investigation is Professor Viktor Radek, religious phenomenologist and expert on cults, and Nya Mashumba, the local government liaison.
What Grey uncovers is a terrifying cult older than Western civilization, the harsh underbelly of a country in despair, a priest seemingly able to perform impossibilities, and the identity of the newest target.
Himself…
The Summoner is available in paperback, as well as on Kindle, Nook and other e-book distributors.
Praise for The Summoner
“Favorite book of the year so far.”
–A Novel Source
“The Summoner is one of those books that make you want to turn on all the lights in your house and lock the doors…The settings are authentic and you can feel and smell the countryside…This is a wonderful read for those who enjoy both suspense and action stories.”
–Seattle Post-Intelligencer
“I moved a little outside my comfort zone with The Summoner, and I am glad I did. A blend of action, history, anthropology, thrills, and chills, all delivered with a mature, polished voice. I am eager for more from this author.”
–Scott Nicholson, Bestselling Author
“Layton Green has written a tale with supernatural and political undertones that unravels with ever increasing suspense…The book is plain terrific.”
–Richard Marek, former President and Publisher of E.P. Dutton
“[T]his book is above and beyond in its narrative, its cohesiveness, the depth of its characters and the quality of the writing. This is one of the best books I’ve ever read for Odyssey Reviews.”
–Odyssey Reviews (Winner—Odyssey Review’s Award of Indie Excellence)
“[C]alls to mind such series as Jason Bourne and Indiana Jones, with supernatural/religious overtones thrown in. I recommend The Summoner to anyone looking for a suspense-filled journey into a unique—and at times, terrifying—culture that’ll keep you guessing.”
–Bookhound’s Den
“Yes, I did put TWO Five Stars up there…giving Green’s The Summoner Five stars and Five stars alone downplays how I felt about this book…BUY THIS BOOK.”

“Mystical, complicated, completely believable and terrifying…[w]ith an ending that will catapult you out of your reading chair. Riveting.”
–The Review Broads
“Green writes like a dream. Dominic Grey is a fascinating protagonist, and his quest for justice in the heart of a troubled African city gripped me from start to finish. The Summoner also beautifully captures Zimbabwe’s diverse and conflicting landscapes—both urban and rural, ancient and modern. The result is a fast-paced and searing narrative that offers a glimpse into a world of religion, politics, and culture few could imagine. The next installment of Green’s suspenseful storytelling and Grey’s next journey can’t come soon enough!”
–Melody Moezzi, Award-winning Author, War on Error
