IN THIS DARK, GRIPPING MYSTERY A BRUTAL MURDER UNEARTHS OLD SECRETS WITH DEADLY CONSEQUENCES

A series of brutal murders ... a mysterious scripture handed down through generations by an ancient race ... and a cult leader hellbent on vengeance and redemption. D. I. Luke Raven's chequered career as a police officer is on the brink of ruin after a series of ill-judged decisions and one too many drunken altercations. As a consequence, his personal life lies in tatters.

Anthony Richards, a young, aspiring author has a deeply troubled past, a fractious and volatile relationship with his mother and a family history cloaked in secrets, violence and lies. The lives of these two men become intrinsically and eternally intertwined when a girl is found on Westhampton Common, her throat slit, her naked, cold and lifeless body drained of blood. What follows is a dark, disturbing and unpredictable journey sparked by the discovery of an ancient manuscript and tales of unspeakable horrors.

Bodies are piling up in Westhampton. The elusive, pale faced killer is on a murderous rampage.

This time it's personal and Raven must risk it all to stop him... at whatever cost.
