While on holiday in Scotland, visiting a macabre tourist attraction, “The Dungeons of Edinburgh,” a young Russian tourist is murdered. As the police grapple with the fact that the cause of the young man’s death was a massive loss of blood, the Watches are immediately aware that there is a renegade vampire on the loose. Anton–the hero of The Night Watch, The Day Watch, and The Twilight Watch–is detailed to this seemingly mundane investigation, but on arriving in Scotland begins to realize that there is much more to the story than a wildcat vampire and a single murder.

Aided by Thomas, the head of Edinburgh’s Night Watch, Anton investigates and ruminates, and becomes aware that a team of unlicensed Others are hunting for a fabled magical treasure, hidden in the sixth level of the Twilight by Merlin himself.

Recensione:

Praise for The Night Watch:
“A sceptical, intelligent thriller.” Telegraph (UK)

“Fascinating. . . . One of the most original and readable supernatural fictions in some time.” Scotland on Sunday

“Magical. . . modern, new and distinctly creepy. . . . Inventive [and] sardonic.” Independent (UK)

“Brace yourself for Harry Potter in Gorky Park. . . . The novel contains some captivating scenes and all kinds of marvelous, inventive detail: The vampires’ seduction of a teenage boy is bone-chilling; . . . and the fantastical powers exercised by Anton and his colleagues range from delightful to awesome.” The Washington Post Book World
