Well , back to the excellent Brian Lumley & his "Necroscope" series ; at the start of this book , Harry Keogh is an ex-necroscope , his powers having been taken from him by his son (who is Wamphyri) about 4 years ago. At the same time E-Branch are looking into a case of drug smuggling in the Greek islands , & a Mr Lazaridis is finding archaeological treasures so easily-almost as if he knows exactly where to look....

So , there's a new vampire in town (or in Romania to be exact) & to fight him , Harry needs his ability to talk to the dead - but this can only be restored by a deal with an old enemy...

The thing I like about these books is their grittiness - I find them evocative of the "Harry Palmer" books & films , as they're very downbeat , which works well with the subject matter . The book ends on something of a cliffhanger , & I'm looking forward to reading book 5.

Worthy of your attention.
