A pure joy to read' Falcata Times ; 'In Johannes Cabal he has created a thoroughly unpleasant lead character who somehow the reader is rooting for - a real achievement' Fortean Times ; 'Very funny, but there are some serious, even sad moments... I haven't enjoyed a book so much for a long time' Tina Rath, Voices from the Vaults , the Dracula Society; 'The language is clever and rich with literary allusions and cunning humor - sort of a restrained Lemony Snicket for adults...

Johannes Cabal is back - a little older, a little wiser, but just as sharply funny, cuttingly sarcastic, and unexpectedly violent as ever.
For necromancer Johannes Cabal, dealing with devils, demons and raising the dead is pretty much par for the course. But when his attempt to steal a rare book turns sour, he is faced by a far more terrifying entity - politics. While awaiting execution for his crime, Cabal is forced to resurrect an inconveniently deceased emperor. Seizing his chance, the cunning Cabal engineers his escape, fleeing the country on a state-of-the-art flying ship. But the ship has more than a few unpleasant surprises, including an unwelcome face from the past and the small matter of some mysterious murders. Cabal may work with corpses but he has absolutely no intention of becoming one. Drawn into a deadly conspiracy, is he shuffling dangerously close to the end of his mortal coil?
Der Totenbeschwörer Johannes Cabal ist wieder da, ein wenig älter, ein wenig weiser, doch unverändert amüsant. Jetzt wird er mit etwas Grausamem konfrontiert: Politik! Während er auf die Strafe für einen Diebsstahl wartet, ist er gezwungen, einen unpassend verstorbenen Imperator wiederzuerwecken. Dann flieht Cabal, in einem nagelneuen Luftschiff, das einige sehr unerfreuliche Überraschungen zu bieten hat. Mit Leichen zu arbeiten ist eine Sache - aber selber eine werden?
