Devil Bones by Kathy Reichs

Devil Bones: A Novel (Temperance Brennan) - A human skull is found in a cauldron along with other bones in a sub cellar by a plumber doing remolding work. Soon after, a headless body is found on the beach nearby. A county commissioner makes the investigation difficult by stirring up the public with press conferences denouncing satanic practices.

The novel is an obvious propaganda against extremists inciting fear of unknown religious practices. It also goes into some detail of what Wicca, Santeria, and et al. are and aren’t, emphasizing that they aren’t satanic in nature.
