The fourth book of the Adept series, This time the Lodge's adversaries are Tibetan black magicians with Nazi connections. They are after a box of Termas--magic scrolls-aboard a sunken German U-boat. They bring in Francis Raeburn, of the Lodge of the Lynx, to help them.
Peregrine, on his honeymoon, is the first to be drawn into this. Adam and his Huntsmen must enlist the help of their Irish counterparts to stop the black Tibetans, but they do keep them from getting the Termas. Raeburn gets away.
Kind of slow at first, but it picks up speed fairly quickly.

Then we shift across the water to Scotland where the police are aided by a psychic order of nobility linked to the Templars (and white so therefore not sinister). The first line of page 72 is, "At the heart of the Inner Planes lay the Akashic Records" - and at that point I decided I could read no further. Sorry, life is too short.
I enjoyed the previous books in the Adept series. They combined the right blend of history/occult for my tastes. This one, unfortunately, was marred by bad copyediting with typos and dropped words. I enjoyed the scenes between Peregrine and Julia; she finally came alive in this book, rather than the angelic cypher of the earlier books. But it was a slog to get through.
