About this ebook
A rainy night in the cathedral city of Hereford. A grisly murder is linked by DI Francis Bliss with the campaign to preserve an ancient ritual site. And then Bliss is sidelined by his boss. What's going on?
In the village of Ledwardine, Merrily Watkins stands between an extreme fundamentalist Christian and an atheist writer known as 'The Devil's Spin Doctor'.
Tensions are rising... and so is the river. Soon Ledwardine will be isolated by floods, cut off with a killer inside - a new kind of killer for a cold new age.

Great book with multi climactic ending! Surprise after surprise after surprise, they just kept coming. I love how I could never see what's coming or guess who dunnit. And in the backdrop of fast paced bombshells is the exploration of how Paganism and Christianity compliment each other and the contemplation of non spiritual belief being disproved in the end by evidence of the existence of spirits interacting with the living and altering events in the material world. WOW!
