Eli Podgram is The Specialist, a wealthy occult investigator who was once a vampire for a couple hours. That fact isn't relevant to the story but takes up a big chunk of the prologue. He's joined by mute virgin psychic Mara and his French servant Hugo. The Chill series also had a woman psychic assistant/potential love interest, don't know how often that comes up in occult investigators of the era.
They go to Haiti to assist a man whose wife had been resurrected as a zombie. Not much plot wise, but things turn real nasty. The wife is gang raped by voodoo cult members in a ceremony to return her soul to her corpse so that she may suffer more for it. Packs of zombies roam the countryside cannibalizing everyone they come across.
Podgram spends a good chunk of the book in astral form snooping around. In a particularly chilling sequence he comes across a man being roasted alive and helps guides the terrified spirit to the afterlife.
Lecale is a pseudonym for Wilfred McNeilly, one of the most common users of the Peter Saxon house name.
