Over the years, Phil Rickman has won high acclaim for his chilling supernatural tales, including Celtic thrillers as well as the Reverend Merrily Watkins Mysteries, featuring Britain's first female exorcist. Meticulously researched, rich in historic detail, these atmospheric procedurals are all cracking-good reads.An early winter slices though the old city of Hereford, a body is found in the River Wye, an ancient church is desecrated, and there are signs of a dark ritual on the hill overlooking the city. Meanwhile, reports of psychic unrest in the city's cathedral speak of an undying evil lying close to the heart of the Church of England. In this second electrifying tale, exorcist Rev. Merrily Watkins must tread in places where an intangible malevolence thrives uncurbed by the forces of law and order.

Industry Reviews

Offered the post of a diocesan exorcist, single mother and rural parish priest Merrily Watkins finds it hard to refuse, given her own acquaintance with inexplicable experiences. But big trouble is in store: the retiring exorcist undertakes a vendetta against her, and a corpse is discovered in the frozen River Wye. And what are the dark rituals that have been taking place on nearby Dinedor Hill? Rickman's first novel featuring his highly unusual heroine, The Wine of Angels, was a supernatural tale delivered with real brio. If the second book takes a touch longer getting into its stride, there's a gain in the careful accumulation of atmospheric detail. And when an ancient evil manifests itself, here's no shortage of spine-chilling frissons. Rickman has undoubtedly created a new genre: the spiritual-procedural thriller, and we can only hope it isn't too long before we meet the Reverend Watkins again. (Kirkus UK)
