Leviathan
The thrilling conclusion to the Matthew Corbett colonial-era mystery series by the New York Times–bestselling author of The King of Shadows.

Matthew Corbett barely escaped from the beguiling and sinister island of Golgotha, where he and his companions, Hudson Greathouse and Professor Fell, had searched in vain for a fabled sorcerer’s mirror said to possess demon-summoning powers. The island instead pulled them ever deeper into its influence—with the goal of erasing their very minds.

But now, in the waning summer of 1704, still reeling from their harrowing journey, they must pay a price for their rescue from Golgotha by the Spanish. The trio are to resume their abandoned quest for Ciro’s mirror while under the watchful eyes of soldiers and a witch-hunter. And they must do it before the Family of the Scorpion finds the mirror and uses it for their own nefarious purposes. . . .

About the Author

Robert McCammon (b. 1952) is one of the country’s most accomplished authors of modern horror and historical fiction, and a founder of the Horror Writers Association. Raised by his grandparents in Birmingham, Alabama, Bram Stoker and World Fantasy Award–winning McCammon published his first novel, the Revelations-inspired Baal, when he was only twenty-six. His writings continued in a supernatural vein throughout the 1980s, as he produced such bestselling titles as Swan Song, The Wolf’s Hour, and Stinger.

In 1991, Boy’s Life won the World Fantasy Award for best novel. After his next novel, Gone South, McCammon took a break from writing to spend more time with his family. He did not publish another novel until 2002’s Speaks the Nightbird. Since then, he has followed “problem-solver” Matthew Corbett through seven sequels, in addition to writing several non-series books, including The Border and The Listener. McCammon still lives in Birmingham.
