Pagan

by Roy Chester

How would you feel if the spirit of an age-old serial killer tried to take possession of your soul ? In the year of the millennium a vicious serial killer is terrifying the country. Pagan abducts and violates young girls, then murders them in a ritual redolent of the Old Religion. But when the killer is caught Jack Keegen finds he is Pagan's doppelganger. And the nightmare begins as he fights to save his Immortal Soul. Keegen is an environmental scientist, an ordinary man who suddenly finds himself confronted with a dark force which traps him in a web where ancient battles between good and evil are fought to the final conclusion. Pagan's spirit is powerful, but when it is exorcised in an ancient ceremony carried out on unhallowed ground outside a medieval monastery, redemption finally triumphs over evil. But only at a terrible price...
