About the Author

Jonathan L. Howard is a game designer and scriptwriter who has worked in the computer games industry since the early nineties, notably co-scripting the first three Broken Sword adventure games. This is his first novel. He lives near Bristol with his wife and daughter.
Johannes Cabal is a necromancer of some little infamy, who has been digging up bodies without permission for several years now. His first appearance in print was in the short story "Johannes Cabal and the Blustery Day," published in the premier issue of "H.P. Lovecraft's Magazine of Horror." Where he lives is none of your "verdammt" business.
