For the past two issues, a demented filmmaker has been trying to kill Jonathan Lord and his 'son', who is actually Jonathan blessed with some mysterious powers to made him decades younger. Well, for someone near and bear to him, the third time will be the charm as yet another group of hired assassins attacks Lord's compound of Shangri-la. Yet another twist in a series that I haven't got a clue as to where's it's headed, I'm really enjoying this series.
The book starts with a whole family being murdered during a seance, then Lord and his new girlfriend are called in to investigate, and then when you think this is going to become a supernatural thriller, the movie turns into Lethal Weapon with hire goons reaping major carnage on the shores of Malibu.
One other interesting turn has Lord's manservant, Milestone, being harassed by a group of spirits. First is the mystical entity that was inside the Maltese Falcon statue that gave Lord his magic powers. The second is that of Brian Vane, a fellow actor on the original Silver Blade with Lord and Milestone. Vane witnessed the seance attack as it took place in the very house in which he committed suicide. This ghost knows who killed the family and now armed with the Falcon Spirit and a former colleague, Silverblade is on the hunt for the two pairs of killers- one human and one otherworldly.
