The Tomb by F. Paul Wilson (2006, Paperback, Reissue)

This novel was recommended by Steven King and I agree. Anything with Repairman Jack is worth reading. He is similar to the Jack Reacher character by Lee Child. A skilled enforcer who metes out justice anonymously.

This book is my Desert Island book. if i could only ever own one book it would be this one. I have owned an original copy for years and have re-read it too many times to remember yet it still is scary, exciting and has many twists and turns. I have since been buying the other books in the series but have found it hard to find this re-print one. The Tomb by F.Paul Wilson was originally written in the 80s as a stand alone story but the character Repairman Jack has since appeared in a series of books so the author has altered the original Tomb slightly so that it fits in with the others date wise. Now i have the updated version too. What a find as I have not seen it available in the U.K.

I've read several Repairman Jack Novels and really enjoyed the weird characters and plots. Not to mention the action and suspense. However, since "The Tomb" was originally written in the 80s I put off reading it for that reason. Big Mistake! You'd never know that this thriller wasn't written recently. Also, several later Repairman Jack Novels refer back to this story. So whether you don't know Jack or your a Repairman Vet this is a must read.
