John Sinclair's life is many things, but boring is not one of them. When an archaeological expedition ends in a series of questionable deaths, Sinclair's old friend Bill Conolly begins to investigate. If one set of deadly digs wasn't enough, an expedition in Yorkshire unearths a vampire graveyard with bloody consequences - including for Sinclair himself. Will he survive his own death and undeath, or wind up as part of a ghoulish banquet alongside the dregs of London?
