Summary

An excavation at a newly discovered kurgan, an ancient burial site, in Innsmouth uncovers some disturbing surprises. A senior archaeologist dies. A nefarious cult take advantage of the discoveries to further their own cause. And before long, a team from Innsmouth are travelling halfway around the world to find the relationship between their excavation and a long dead secret that yearns to rise from its grave.

From the book:
The Thurston lecture hall lights dimmed. An audience of students, scholars and interested layfolk filled the tiered seats. The murmur of their expectant chatter susurrated from the ceiling and walls. Dr Ellie Green thought it was exceptionally busy for a lecture on an investigation into the roots of Proto-Indo-European language, but she was not surprised by the large numbers. Given the upset and notoriety that had plagued the investigation, Ellie had expected this lecture to be packed with ghouls and the macabrely curious. She recognised the faces of a handful of reporters in the auditorium and inwardly cursed each of them.

“This lot are going to eat us alive,” Anjali muttered in a soft whisper.

“We’ve faced worse,” Ellie reminded her.

Another great from the master himself

Kurgan has everything, great plot, imaginative storytelling, naked ladies chained to rocks, and fish people that remind me of the denizens of my town's local bars. There is an element of the uncanny that I think Lister achieves incredibly well in this text. It is one of my favourite in this series. If you've got this far, see it through to the end...
