Praise for Death After Midnight
“Add in vampires and demons and it pretty much covers all genres… it was definitely an entertaining read. I would recommend it as a fun addition to the cannon…”

“The use of language and imagery is fresh and pithy and the hangover descriptions are especially vivid. A good reading choice if you like books by authors such as Kate Mosse, Scot Mariani and Will Adams.”

“To try combining futuristic themes, vampires, and historical conspiracy theories into both a thriller and a romance seemed incredibly ambitious… the author really pulled all of the threads together into a great story.”

“A new genre of popular novel has grown up in the wake of Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code… combines the actions of a thriller with a mystery concerned with symbols and the Church… with explosive action centred around powerful groups looking for what is at the heart of the Priory of Sion…”

“The characters were very interesting and well rounded, I could easily believe they had a past.”

A frequent traveller to the south of France and having spent many holidays in the Languedoc, Dean Fetzer discovered the story of Rennes-le-Château, a former Visigoth fortified city reduce to a tiny, dying village with a mystery.  In the late 19th century, Roman Catholic priest Abbé Bérenger Saunière was appointed to the tiny church dedicated to Mary Magdalene - a church falling to ruin. In the first year, he began renovations with a small amount of money donated by the local authority until he found something under the altar. After a trip to St Sulpice in Paris, Saunière suddenly had money. Lots of money. What did he find? Visigoth treasure? Templar gold? The Holy Grail? Much speculation and few hard facts later and the mystery is still unclear. And why did he die so suddenly in January 1917?

Death After Midnight was a result of Dean's visits and subsequent fascination with the strange little village and it's infamous priest. You can learn more at deanfetzer.com
