As the third installment of the Cahills vs. Vespers series, The Dead of Night is a bizarre adventure where foes lose their targets at the edge of success and the blackmailing tennis match is played between Cahill and Vesper. In this book the Cahills definitely have a ratio of 2:1. The author is 'Agent Peter Lerangis of the Janus branch.'

Atticus could not imagine that he would die in a bakery van. He did not imagine that he would die surrounded by cakes and bread. He did not know who these kidnappers are and where they are taking him. The only word that rang in his mind was 'Vespers.'

Dan and Amy are stupefied by the nerve of the kidnappers who took Atticus Rosenbloom. This is very surprising, even for a Cahill. Why would anyone kidnap a child in broad daylight? They are stuck at a dead end when Dan receives a signal from Atticus and immediately pursues the route by which he is being taken. Young Atticus has used his skills and has escaped from the kidnappers who call themselves the Wyomings. With his brilliant mind he shuts down the systems and manages to escape their secret lair just before it blows up. This will obviously not have a good effect on the Wyomings. They are almost passed off as rubble but are dug out by Atticus and his friends. They look unconscious but if they are, then why is Casper Wyoming holding a pistol?

Action sequences with surprising consequences are a specialty of Peter Lerangis. The book has a creepy yet intoxicating aura of interest. It is not a book for the weak minded, lily livered fairytale loving children. It is a book that reveals the superior strength and horror of the Vespers.
