Untitled Blake Backlash Manuscript
Chapter 1, Page 1
Nearly a year after his last big case, Blake Backlash finds himself stuck in a dilapidated castle. He's supposed to be some kind of hero, having inherited late Uncle Dameon's role of "Guardian of Truth and Light" along with this wreck of a fortress. What Uncle Dameon didn't explain was what was he supposed to do next. So far, the most exciting outcome of his new title has involved building plaster and a lot of hammering. It's enough to seek a scion to seek out the highest ramparts and throw himself over. Still, he reasoned things could be worse. If it weren't for the large amounts of cash he'd smuggled out of the voodoo hounfour before it went up in flames, there'd be no 'renovations' and he'd still be freezing his balls off in the bavarian refridgerator.
Fortunately, Blake is spared the ordeal of further self-reflection when a mysterious package arrives in the mail - postmark: India. Curious, he rips open the thick twine binding and out falls
