The Lurker at the Threshold (The Lovecraft Mysteries 3)

Devlin Macky makes a grave error when he purchases a copy of The Necronomicon from the Mad Arab, Abdul Alhazred. Reading it over a stiff drink, he unwittingly opens the First Gate. Soon, a hound is baying through Innsport, and several people end up dead. Glowing spheres appear at random, and a horde of monsters is released on a defenseless city. With the help of Creighton Capshaw, the museum curator, detectives, Duke Givens and Newt Bardhoff, his daring and dashing secretary, Millie von Clydesburgh and her fearless cocker spaniel, Mr. Kalabraise, Macky and his friends must put the city back together before the final gate opens. But Yog-Sothoth, the Lurker at the Threshold, is poised to enter the city. With Azathoth and Cthulhu, they'll begin what they've desired for millennia: the eradication of the human race. Macky and the gang need to summon more than a few spells to put things right. And with Nyarlathotep on their heels, time is running out. Can Macky find a way to close the gates before all hell breaks loose? Will he find a way to bargain with the Elder Gods? And can he do it all in one night and still stay sober? Maybe. Maybe not. Comic antics and adventures, snappy one-liners, and plenty of action and horror make the Lovecraft Mysteries a must read! The Lurker at the Threshold picks up where Macky and Millie left off in book 2, taking the reader deeper into the Lovecraftian Mythos and into more trouble than they've been before.
