Everyone has personal demons.
David Drago is about to meet his.
Private Investigator David Drago is a former policeman and Gulf War veteran struggling with his combat experiences, his time spent in the psychological ward of a veteran's hospital, and the darkness of his past. When he is approached by a mysterious client who hires him to locate his missing fiance, Jesse Greenlaw, Drago hesitantly takes the case. The problem, Jesse is also David's former girlfriend, and an integral part of the murky past still haunting him. Drawn into a world of pornography, where Jesse was working at the time of her disappearance, his investigation leads him into a labyrinth of violence, sexual intrigue, black witchcraft, and satanism. The deeper he digs, the deeper Drago descends into a dark netherworld haunted by terrifying visions of angels and demons alike, and where nothing is what it seems. David Drago is trapped in a nightmare. Unfortunately, he's wide awake.

Professional Reviews
S. Joan Popek, Author of THE ADMINISTRATOR and SOUND THE RAM'S HORN says:
Greg F. Gifune is one of this generation's most talented authors. His unique blend of real life with surrealistic horror borders on genius...DRAGO DESCENDING is a novel that is impossible to put down once you start reading it, and it will keep you guessing until the last page is turned. I highly recommend DRAGO DESCENDING.
William P. Simmons of Cemetery Dance Magazine says:
An author whose lyrical word play, poetic descriptions and rich, subversive imagination compliments a style both minimal and sensuous, Greg F. Gifune's DRAGO DESCENDING is a marvelous exploration of pain...Drago, a man walking the tight-rope between decency and depravity, is a fascinating study of internal conflict...Breathing with the greatness of a classic tragedy, Gifune keeps his action furious and his atmosphere an integral component of meaning...A first rate thriller!
