Anmeldelser
«This literary thriller is a page-turner with brains»
DAILY MAIL
«THE HISTORIAN amounts to something profound. . . and wondrously mathematical at times, a genre novel by Bach . . . We encounter obsession, possession, and the struggle against the brevity of life. It is an exploration of the eternal desire for intimacy.»
THE TIMES
«The Historian is great fun. . . told with a compelling intensity which will keep the reader hooked until the last Undead tomb door swings shut»
SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
«A gasp-inducing, breathtakingly dark mystery set in the present but wrapped around the folklore and history of Dracula...written in an exquisitely delicate and reserved style'»
GOOD HOUSEKEEPING
«Filled with fascinating details of archaic vampire lore, the splendours of the Ottoman Empire and the beauty of the Romanian countryside»
