London, 1750: Beatrice Scarlet is the apothecary's daughter. She can mix medicines and herbs to save the lives of her neighbors—but, try as she might, she can't save the lives of her parents. An orphan at just 16, Beatrice marries a preacher and emigrates to America. New Hampshire, 1756: In the farming community where Beatrice now lives, six pigs are found viciously slaughtered; slices of looking-glass embedded in their mouths. According to scripture, this is the work of Satan—but Beatrice Scarlet suspects the hands of men. As she closes in on the killer, she must act quickly to unmask him—or become the next victim herself.

Industry Reviews

'A skilfully written and wonderfully unnerving thriller' Bookshelf Butterfly.
'From the first page you get a feeling that this book is like nothing you've read before, and nothing like anything you'll read in the near future. Graham Masterton has perfected an eerie start that gets you intrigued right from the get go ... It's so fast-paced and never once misses a beat nor does it ever let-up on the speed' Published Moments.
'Plenty of shocks and surprises ... Beatrice is a very strong character and I loved her scientific approach to explaining all the strange events in her life - she's like a scientific 18th-century Miss Marple. I will definitely be looking out for the next book in the Beatrice Scarlet series' 4/5, The Book Magnet.
'A superb piece of historical horror. Graham Masterton is an expert at combining suspense with laying the groundwork for an intricately plotted thriller' Crime Review.
'Fun, fresh and intriguing' The Bookseller.
'The characters are very well crafted, with Beatrice emerging as a fantastic new female protagonist ... A promising new series' New Books Magazine.
