Graham Masterton's latest entry in the saga of the vengeful long-dead Indian medicine man Misquemachus continues as Harry Erskine finds himself involved in an untamable plague sweeping the country. It's solution, he knows, will not come from medical laboratories but somehow from the supernatural. Masterton tells a tight, twisty tale of horror that keeps the reader glued to the page first to last. Harry this time faces a seemingly insurmountable problem...solving it amidst the death and destruction is a challenge that I found pretty irresistible. (
