"Our only current writer who can induce such terror as the Grimm
Brothers did." - "Times Literary Supplement"
"He is certainly the best British novelist in his field and
deserves the widest recognition." - "Penguin Encyclopedia of Horror
and the Supernatural"
" A] stylish, genuinely chilling author ... undoubtedly one of
England's best practicing novelists in the tradition of the
thriller novel." - " St. James Guide to Crime & Mystery
Writers"
Bill Easter is a petty criminal with a little problem of a 2000
overdraft that he has no means of covering. Fortunately, the bank
manager has a problem of his own and needs Bill's help: the corpse
of Henry Oliver, a very hairy 350 lb. mass murderer known as the
"Mad Vicar," is decomposing in his basement and he wants it
removed. Among Oliver's papers, Bill finds a tantalizing reference
to treasure that leads him to the Scottish isle of Rhona, where he
meets the intrepid General Charles Kirk of British Foreign
Intelligence and the arrogant adventurer J. Moldon Mott. Kirk has
uncovered a bizarre plot involving the KGB, ex-Nazi mad scientists,
and the "mad monk" Rasputin, while Mott is hot on the trail of a
stolen gold treasure. And when they discover the island is being
overrun by werewolves, their trip to the remote island will become
a very beastly business indeed
"A Beastly Business" (1982) features the trademark blend of
mystery, adventure, and horror that made John Blackburn (1923-1993)
one of the most acclaimed British thriller writers of his
generation. One of the scarcest of Blackburn's books and long
unobtainable, "A Beastly Business" is reprinted here for the first
time ever.
