The Man From The Diogenes Club
ByPublisher Description
CAN’T ELIMINATE THE IMPOSSIBLE? Send for the man from the Diogenes Club!
The debonair psychic investigator Richard Jeperson is the Most Valued Member of the Diogenes Club, the least-known and most essential branch of British Intelligence. While foiling the plot of many a maniacal mastermind, he is chased by sentient snowmen and Nazi zombies, investigates an unearthly murderer stalking the sex shops of 1970s Soho, and battles a poltergeist to prevent it triggering nuclear Armageddon. But as a new century dawns, can he save the ailing Diogenes Club itself from a force more diabolical still?
Newman’s ten mischievous tales, with cameos from the much-loved characters of the Anno Dracula universe, will entertain fans and newcomers alike.

“I've never read any of Newman's books before and picked this up on the strength of the cover alone. It just jumped out of the display and the book blurb sealed the deal.
In this collection of 10 stories, featuring the psychic detective Richard Jeperson (a Jason King pastiche) Newman exploits and subverts the spy/detective/ghost hunter genres to great effect. There are some great stories here. "The Man Who Got Off The Ghost Train" though is the star of the piece; an absolute gem of a ghost story.”
