Jerry Pardoe and Jamila Patel hunt down a ritualistic cult inspired by Neolithic cannibals in the new chilling horror from Graham Masterton. Det. Sgt. Jamila Patel and Det. Con. Jerry Pardoe have reluctantly acquired a reputation in the Metropolitan Police for their ability to tackle bizarre and apparently supernatural crimes. Now they have been called back together after three bodies are found in a London basement... bodies which have been taken apart, roasted and eaten. The markings on the wall suggest this might have been done by some kind of religious cult – and as more people are kidnapped and cannibalised, Patel and Pardoe realise they are dealing with a group of devil-worshippers invoking an ancient god who has not been worshipped since the Neolithic age...

'God, he's good.' Stephen King Pardoe and Patel investigate an eerie string of murders in the new chilling thriller from Graham Masterton. A SEVERED HEAD After a South London man is shot and killed, his wife swears that the offender didn't have feet. Then a teacher is murdered at a local school and her pupils insist they saw disembodied legs hanging from the ceiling. A SUPERNATURAL CASE These murders are neither straightforward nor easily explained, which means there are only two people fit to DS Jamila Patel and DC Jerry Pardoe, who are used to tracking spirits intent on causing mayhem. A BLOODY HISTORY When two children go missing – finding themselves lost in another time period altogether – the investigation leads to the discovery of a violent entity. One who has been killing for much longer than anyone first realised – and has no plans to stop . . . For fans of Joe Hill, Peter James and Stephen King, Graham Masterton is a master of the horror genre whose books have sold millions of copies across the globe.
