To the casual visitor, Crowthorpe was a pretty Lakeland village, with its stone circle prehistoric monument. But the village has a strange and troubling history, surrounding the power of the circle of stones, and an old Celtic legend. When a girl's body is found by the stones with her eyes pecked out, Jason Quinn, a savvy TV journalist who was skeptical about all things supernatural, decides to make the trip up north to the tiny village to investigate. If he solves the crime, it will be the perfect scoop. In a village where nothing is as its seems, can Quinn separate the myths and legends from the hard evidence he needs to track the killer? As he begins his investigations, sudden violent attacks plague the village, and strange stories of mind control trouble the people of Crowthorpe. The investigator will be drawn into a whirlpool of suspicion and fear and, before long, Jason himself is the victim of a bloody attack by the stone circle. What dark power is gripping the residents of Crowthorpe? ‘The Macbeth Prophecy’ is a dark and haunting thriller from a master of crime fiction.
