Summary

The fifth novel in the acclaimed cult favorite series starring Johannes Cabal, necromancer.

Johannes Cabal, a necromancer of some little infamy, has come into possession of a vital clue that may lead him to his ultimate goal: a cure for death. The path is vague, however, and certainly treacherous as it takes him into strange territories that, quite literally, no one has ever seen before. The task is too dangerous to venture upon alone, so he must seek assistance - comrades for the coming travails.

Assisted - ably and otherwise - by his vampiric brother, Horst, and by the kindly accompaniment of a criminologist and a devil, they will encounter ruins and diableries, mystery and murder, the depths of the lowest pit, and a city of horrors - London, to be exact.

Yet even though Cabal has risked such peril believing he understands the dangers he faces, he is still underestimating them. He is walking into a trap of such arcane complexity that even the one who drew him there has no idea of its true terrors. As it closes slowly and subtly around them, it may be that there will be no survivors at all.

And what next?

I'm so sad to see that this is the last book about the Cabal brothers. I love all the books and want to continue to follow their story. Please Mr Howard, I want to know if Johannes success in reviving his dead love, and how Horst manages being a human with a touch of vampire remaining

So very sad it’s the last book so far

I have loved the series and am so sad that I seem to have reached the last novel. Just up my street! It’s dark, adventurous and very funny. I really hope that the next adventure is in the pipeline as I’m pining already.

Better and better

I believe this series of books, whilst decent enough to begin with, definitely picked up speed as they went along (in addition to all manner of beasties, baddies and big teeth).
The small witticisms, incisive dialogue and an angora sweater have provided the narrator with increasing amounts of fun as the episodes evolve.

Always a first class listen

Followed the series for a while and always enjoy a great deal. Increases vocabulary quite a bit listening to these in addition to being a very fun journey.
