St Aldate's Magick
A ruthless murder. A hint of the occult. A serial killer on the loose.
Three months have passed since tragedy made another strike against the Lancefields. And with a dangerous killer still on the loose, DCI Ennor Price is facing an ignominious end to his otherwise unblemished career.
Three hundred miles away in London’s exclusive Canary Wharf Estate, a young woman’s body is found floating in the murky waters of the West India Dock. It looks to DCI Chris Greenway like an opportunistic mugging – except for the tawdry and curious collection of objects that had been draped around her neck.
When Greenway’s investigation leads him to DCI Price’s door, Price feels his blood run the victim had connections to both the Lancefield family and the ruthless killer. And when another Lancefield cousin steps unexpectedly out of the wings to present himself to the family, the detective can only fear the worst.
Will Price succeed in capturing his elusive nemesis? Or is history is about to repeat itself in the worst of all possible ways?
