‘Enriched by historical data, this spellbinding police procedural has a vicious sting in its tail’ – Kirkus Reviews Starred Review How can you get away with murder in a city full of cameras? London’s DSI Grace O’Malley must solve a puzzling case in this highly addictive blend of gritty police procedural and creepy historical horror by dynamic father-daughter duo Richard and Bernadette O’Rawe. Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live . . . Detective Superintendent Grace O’Malley of London’s Metropolitan Police receives a dubious phone call.
A self-proclaimed witch hunter, using the alias of Matthew Hopkins, the notorious seventeenth century witchfinder general, is leading her to his first victim. Someone is exploiting the bloody history of the witchfinder to start a modern-day witch hunt, making sure their debut murder of a TV-medium is broadcast worldwide during Halloween night on Westminster Bridge. The clock is ticking for this high-profile case. Grace needs to find out who is behind the premeditated crime before the witch hunter can strike again. But the more she investigates, the more she finds herself in an intricate web of lies, deceit and threats – a case even more complex and incredible than originally thought. Fans of British crime thrillers in the style of Mick Herron, Ian Rankin, Harlan Coben, Val McDermid and Denise Mina will binge this first in a series with a gripping plot full of shocking twists and turns.
