Overview
THE FINAL NOVEL IN THE MERRILY WATKINS SERIES Nestled deep in the Black Mountains, the village of Longtown is haunted by killings both ancient and modern. When young farmer and lottery winner Eddy Davies is found dead in suspicious circumstances, Herfordshire Police find themselves handling a complicated investigation. Things aren't looking good for Davies' friend, the mysterious Autumn Wise, who is found nearby holding a shotgun. She calls on Merrily Watkins - parish priest, single mom and renowned demon exorcist - for help. And soon Merrily will discover that Eddy's death is only the latest in a long string of tragedies to blight Longtown and the surrounding area. But help is at hand from Merrily's spiritual advisor, the Rev. Huw Owen, who has an unorthodox solution in mind to end the area's centuries-long trail of misfortune. Praise for Phil Rickman: "Cleverly illuminates the darkest corners of our imagination" --John Connolly "Rickman, a historian of the first order, neatly segues between church policies of today and seven centuries ago. Be prepared to read slowly, maybe even take notes." --Kirkus Reviews on The Fabric of Sin "A most original sleuth" --The Times
