If you like books where FBI tracking down possible terrorists in the US, this is the book for you. If you like magic and action, this is the book for you.I love the Morris and Chastain Investigation series(the 4th book in the series). This book took a little bit to get start, and took its time to set up the story with mutliple person's point of view. The twist and turn of the story are like the a rollercoster ride. I also love the subtle humor in the book, and keep the characters lively.
The only complain I have about the book at the end there are a lot of loose end of couple major characters, hopefully the next book will let me know what happened to them. Can not wait for the next book to come out.

Midnight At The Oasis A Morris and Chastain Investigation edition by Justin Gustainis Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
Midnight at the Oasis (2013) is the fifth Fantasy novel in the Morris & Chastain series, following Play with Fire. The initial volume in this sequence is Black Magic Woman.
In the previous volume, Morris was released from jail. The charges had been dropped and the POTUS had sent him a nice letter. He would add it to his collection.
Libby was waiting for his release. Naturally, the staff was twenty-four minutes late in releasing Morris. Libby blinked her lights and drove the rented car up to the sidewalk to save him a walk. They discussed several things, including food and liquor, but agreed that they needed to get back to work soon.
They were hired by a Catholic monastery to solve a theft. The thieve had gotten through mundane and occult defenses to steal a five volume set of very rare books. Some of the information in these volumes probably went back to Solomon.
Their first task was to find someone capable of the deed. The sisters didn't know of any person with such skills, except Morris. So they checked with another occult investigator.
In this novel, Quincy Harker Morris is an occult investigator. He is from Austin, Texas.
Elizabeth Catherine Chastain is a white witch. Libby and Morris are partners.
Dale Fenton is a Special Agent in the FBI Behavioral Science Section. He is a Black, but uses white magic.
Colleen O'Donnell is a Special Agent in the FBI Behavioral Science Section. She is a white witch.
Barry Love is an occult investigator in New York City. He knows Morris and Chastain from prior cases.
Abdul Nasisi has a PhD in Arabic History. He is an admirer of Osama bin Laden. He is very upset when the Great Satan sent Marines to assassinate the Sheik.
Jawad Tamwar is a professional jihadist. He had been imprisoned by the French authorities for his attempt to subvert the Arab workers.
Mujab Rahim is a professional wet worker. He works with Nasiri for the opportunity to kill people.
Sharaf Uthman is a practitioner of black magic. He works with Nasiri.
In this story, Nasiri and Tamwar work on finding an afreet. Tamwar discovers a man who keeps one in an oil lamb just like the story of Aladdin. Unfortunately, the man died before explaining the method of controlling the afreet.
Tamwar remembers that Solomon was said to control afreets using his Seal. Tamwar has the quarters thoroughly searched, but finds nothing of use. Then Nasiri suggests that other places have pieces of the legendary Seal.
The jihadists steal a bit of the Seal and Uthman is able to call and control the djinn. Yet they discover that the afreet doesn't have the power to turn their target into a tower of flame. Tamwar, Rahim and Uthman go out to get the heart of a lion.
In Quantico, Fenton arrives at work to find Colleen already working the internet. She has received a case file on a robbery of the Oriental Institute that left no traces. Yet two guards had their throats slit.
The site was within a well protected museum. Many valuable items were left untouched while the thieves took a piece of metal about five thousand years old. Many considered the bit to be a part of the Seal of Solomon.
Fenton remembered a security briefing a week or so earlier on heightened activity by Islamic terrorists. NSA had discovered the use of the phrase "Midnight at the Oasis" and the term dromedary. Material found in the Sheik compound associated that term with "afreet".
Colleen and Fenton visited Morris and Chastain in New York. They presented their case and asked the pair to find the terrorists. Morris and Chastain took the case, but didn't have a clue on where to start.
Morris drops in on Barry and arranges a meet at Strangefellows. There he learns a little more about afreets and gets the name and address of someone who knows where to find the Knights Templar. Morris and Libby visit that contact and gets directions and even a letter to the Father-General.
This tale takes Morris and Libby to Ohio to meet the Father-General of a branch of the Knights Templar. The Knights have lost a Sensitive and want Libby's help. She locates the man and the Father-General promises to provide a piece of the Seal. However, he defers payment to after the man is rescued.
The author refers to three other occult investigators in this novel. The first is the mention of Strangefellows -- a John Taylor hangout -- from the Nightside series. The second is to Harry Dresden and the last to Anita Blake.
Problems occur in the investigation. The next installment in this sequence has not yet been announced on . Since the author has started another series, this may be the last volume in the sequence. However, an omnibus edition of this and the previous novel is available in printed format.
Highly recommended for Gustainis fans and for anyone else who enjoys tales of magical creatures, occult investigations and a bit of lust. Read and enjoy!
-Arthur W. Jordin
Great read. Just like all of the other books written by Justin Gustainis. Can't wait for the next one to be released.
i am a huge fan for justins books- the characters and story line were,as usual,well crafted -but the ending left me feeling a little flat-in the context of the plot/magic items the ending worked, but to reiterate i felt kind of let down.
Good entertaining read. Nothing too serious.
Great author of the supernatural!!
I love this series of books. Great characters. I would highly recommend this book!!
A fun series. Some are better than others, but they are enjoyable.
I have been following Justin Gustainis's books for a few years now. I started with Sympathy for the Devil, and then rushed out and bought all that I could find. He has a unique eye for the modern urban horor genre.
I see a few similarities with Tim Powers' "Declare" which had Djinns and Kim Philby. Gustainis' work compare favorably with Powers, one of my favorite authors.
You do not often see characters in a series interact with something totally unique. Usually they deal with vampires, werewolfs, satanists, Bond Villains, that kind of thing. Like Powers, Gustainis takes on unique fantasy Bad Guys, and adds his own twists. While I knew that Morris and Chastain could deal with them (after all, why kill them off?), it was very interesting to see just how.
Highly recommended.
If you like books where FBI tracking down possible terrorists in the US, this is the book for you. If you like magic and action, this is the book for you.
I love the Morris and Chastain Investigation series(the 4th book in the series). This book took a little bit to get start, and took its time to set up the story with mutliple person's point of view.
