JOHANNES CABAL THE DETECTIVE
Book ID/图书代码： 11701214B67572
English Summary/英文概要： Johannes Cabal is back – a little older, a little wiser, but just as sharply funny, cuttingly sarcastic, and unexpectedly violent as ever.
For necromancer Johannes Cabal, dealing with devils, demons and raising the dead is pretty much par for the course. But when his attempt to steal a rare book turns sour, he is faced by a far more terrifying entity – politics. While awaiting execution for his crime, Cabal is forced to resurrect an inconveniently deceased emperor. Seizing his chance, the cunning Cabal engineers his escape, fleeing the country on a state-of-the-art flying ship. But the ship has more than a few unpleasant surprises, including an unwelcome face from the past and the small matter of some mysterious murders. Cabal may work with corpses but he has absolutely no intention of becoming one. Drawn into a deadly conspiracy, is he shuffling dangerously close to the end of his mortal coil?
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 约翰内普•卡巴勒再次归来----这一次，他更成熟了一些，更智慧了一些，但却是如同从前一般犀利、风趣与爱挖苦人，并且不出意外的仍旧和从前一般小小的暴力。
对于招魂术师约翰内普•卡巴勒而言，与恶魔、魔鬼交易，让死人复活，对他而言再寻常不过。然而当他试图盗取一本罕见的书籍，却以失败告终后，他不得不面临一个更为可怕的实体----政治。在等待行刑处决的过程中，卡巴勒被迫让一名不幸已逝的国王复活。借由此次机会，卡巴勒不由得算计起他的逃亡之旅---乘坐一艘极其先进的飞船逃离这个国度。飞船带给他的惊喜却远远不止一个，当然其中包括一名他最不想遇见的“故人”以及一系列小小的凶杀案。卡巴勒或许经常与尸体打交道，但他却绝不想自己也成为其中之一。当他被卷入这场致命的阴谋之中，他是否正面临着摆脱这一切尘世烦恼的性命危险之中？（DC）
