“Robert Turner cannot die, nor can he age. Brought back to life, he sleeps in a tomb near Boston’s Old North Church and has no friends. No friends other than a dead man, the infamous witch hunter, Cotton Mather. Robert died in 1944 during Operation Overlord. His last memory was the feeling of hot metal lancing through his abdomen as he sunk to the ocean floor, mere yards from Omaha Beach. Robert believes he was brought back, back from the dead - for a purpose. That purpose, only Cotton can interpret, for the clues come to Robert in murderous dreams. Murderous dreams that land his quarry upon “the list”. For demons walk this earth- and they must be culled. Trapped in a modern purgatory, will Robert succeed in filling his quota? Can he cope with the ever increasing cigarette prices? Will he ever get a ticket off this rock?On a holy mission from God, Robert seeks to eradicate demons from this world. At the same time, he also aims to drink as much beer and Kentucky bourbon he can get his mitts on. Meanwhile, visions of lovers long lost haunt him across the decades. Questionable judgment, drunkenness, Rorschach tests and trips to the loony bin prevail, leading up to a realization that only the most paranoid schizophrenic could possibly imagine.”

I really, really liked this book. I'd be lying if I said I completely understood everything that happened with the different twists, but the writing was so compelling, I didn't care. The author has a way of completely sucking you into a scene where you feel like you're there with the main character. This doesn't happen through long, drawn-out overly explained descriptions of the scenery, but by effectively explaining the thoughts, feelings, and experience of the main character in the setting. Hard to explain...
Overall, I am so glad I read this. It wasn't a perfect read, but it kept me on the edge of my seat several times throughout the book. I look forward to the next one.
