In his sixth adventure, Sam Spallucci: Bloodline, Lancaster's whiskey drinking, chain smoking investigator of the paranormal faces his toughest challenge yet - a shadowy cabal of werewolves that are led by a supposedly benevolent building magnate by the name of Vincent Stone. On the face of it, Stone's construction of a thoughtfully crafted suburban paradise down on the Quayside of the city in the north west of the United Kingdom appears to be a godsend for the local area, but the charismatic leader of the Bloodline of Abel has darker designs on the city.
