Black Easter by Dario Ciriello

It's Resurrection Time.

San Francisco antique dealer Paul Hatzis sells his business and rents an old house on the small Greek island of VOunos. What he doesn't know is that the house, which has a sinister reputation with the locals, was previously owned by black magician Dafyd Jones who--along with his seer companion Magda O'Whelan, and Klaus Maule, a seriously disturbed colonel in the Waffen S--made a deal with the demonic, culminating in their planned bodily deaths during the final ritual in 1944.

In return for a lifetime--seventy human years--of service on the frontier of Outer Hell, where all the demons of Hell fight a desperate, eternal battle against inconceivable powers that would consume both the human and demonic spheres, Jones and his companions will be reborn on Earth as powerful immortals.if they don't go mad first.

As Easter approaches, Paul is preparing to celebrate the biggest holiday of the Greek calendar with his girlfriend, Elleni, and Alex, his adored 18-year old niece. But with the biblical threescore years and ten now up, the magician and his two colleagues are being called back from Hell by the ritual artifact they buried deep in the cellar of Paul's house.

And all they need are three living human bodies.
