In his latest adventure, Detective Chief Inspector John Sinclair travels to Egypt to stop an unspeakable evil. When a British expedition uncovers the tomb of an ancient sorcerer, they unwittingly open a portal into another dimension... and awaken a demonic force intent on destroying our world. Detective Chief Inspector John Sinclair works for Scotland Yard’s Special Division, an elite unit that deals with extraordinary cases. DCI Sinclair is a battle-hardened veteran of Afghanistan, a man haunted by the past. His latest case takes him from the back alleys of London to the Egyptian desert. A heart-pounding race against time begins, and John faces an evil that is older than our world...

+++ "A hero so suave and dashing, he makes James Bond look like a grubby detective sergeant, a plot that reads like it came straight from the great vaults of Hammer, and enough action and derring do to keep even the most ardent pulp fan smiling with glee.[...] A tight, punchy read that heralds the start of a great new series of pulp horror. Highly recommended." Ginger Nuts of Horror

There was a whisper.

Somewhere out there, in the darkness.

Someone or something was calling to him.

Come … said the voice inside his head. It sounded like wind, filling his mind like a wave, rising and crashing, engulfing him, then retreating again into the void.

Come, defiler. Let me show you …

He felt himself falling, stumbling. For a brief moment, he was weightless.
