Leviathan — Robert R. McCammon

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. . . .
