The Fall of the House of Cabal (Johannes Cabal Novel, Bk. 5)

The necromancer Johannes Cabal - famously of some little infamy - is close to solving the intractable problem of death, but the solution lies within a tangled web of legend, danger, mystery, and more danger. Mainly danger, in fact. It is a very dangerous web. To venture into it, he requires a team of the very best.

Instead he makes do with his affably vampiric brother, Horst; his friendly foe, Leonie Barrow; and the joyfully murderous Zarenyia, a spider-devil with a penchant for angora. The journey will take in the houses of the dead, and the palaces of Hell, murderers, ghosts, and betrayal.

Yet at the end of it all may be something better than a cure for death: a reason for living.
