When autumn storms blast Hereford, centuries-old human bones are found amongst the roots of a tree blown down on the city's Castle Green. But why have they been stolen? At the nearby Cathedral, another storm is building around a new, modernising bishop who believes that if the Church is to survive it must phase out irrelevant archaic practices. Not good news for Merrily Watkins, consultant on the paranormal or, as it used to be known, diocesan exorcist. Especially as she's now presented with the job at its most medieval. In the moody countryside on the edge of Wales, a rambling 12th-century house is thought to be haunted. Although its new owners don't believe in ghosts, they do believe in spiritual darkness and the need for exorcism. But their approach to Merrily is oblique and guarded. No-one can be told - least of all, the new bishop. Merrily's discovery of the house's links with the medieval legend of a man who resisted mortality threatens to expose the hidden history of a more modern cult and its trail of insidious abuse. A trail that may not be closed.

Review:
Ancient history, violent deaths, feuds, intrigues and murder. A most original sleuth. - The Times

First rate crime with demons that go bump in the night. - Daily Mail

Compassionate, original and sharply contemporary, Rickman's crime series is one of the best around. - Spectator

Few writers blend the ancient and supernatural with the modern and criminal better than Rickman. - Guardian

Rickman's writing [is] spooky and indirect, elegantly crafted but always a sense... that you've missed something you should have seen. - New York Review Of Books

A wonderful, enthralling read. Huge tensions. All too believable. You are there with poor Merrily every step of the way. - Daily Express

First class – Guardian

One of the best – Spectator

Compelling – Mail on Sunday

First rate – Daily Mail

Wonderful – Daily Express

Terrific – the Times

Wonderfully original – Daily Telegraph

Phil Rickman is one of my all-time favourites. I love everything he's done. - Diana Gabaldon

Complex, absorbing, fascinating... - Andrew Taylor

The layers, the characters, the humour, the spookiness - perfect. - Elly Griffiths

No shortage of excitement. - Ruth Rendell

Tight with atmosphere, thick with latent violence... Brilliantly eerie. - Peter James

What a shame I've read all this fab writer's books. - Katie Fforde

Imbues paranormal fiction with subtlety, ambiguity and uncertainty like no other writer. - F.G. Cottam

Mysteries in the classic sense, cleverly combining the supernatural and criminal elements to illuminate the darkest corners of our imaginations. - John Connolly

Scared the sh-t out of me. - Jo Brand

Well-written, haunting. - Jeff Abbott

No-one writes better of the shadow-frontier between the supernatural and the real world. - Bernard Cornwell
