About this listen

At the turn of the 20th century, a former spy is called into service to hunt down a vampire killer.

Once a spy for Queen Victoria, James Asher has fought for Britain on every continent, using his quick wits to protect the Empire at all costs. After years of grueling service, he marries and retires to a simple academic’s life at Oxford. But his peace is shattered one night with the arrival of a Spanish vampire named Don Simon. Don Simon can disappear into fog, move faster than the eye can see, and immobilize Asher - and his young bride - with a wave of his hand. Asher is at his mercy, and has no choice but to give his help.

Because someone is killing the vampires of London, and James Asher must find out who - before he becomes a victim himself.

Fans of vampire roleplaying games will love this. The main character is a practical mortal, but the gallery of undead he comes across is generally well realised. The plot is a little convenient, but it gets us where we want to go. Thoroughly recommend to those who already enjoy the subgenre.

Purple, but not without lividity
