Sinopse

The curtains were closed and incense burned in a pottery jug. Brightly coloured cloth was draped over pictures on the wall. Out of a bag spilled stones, teeth, bones. Beside them were jars of herbs and ground powders. Was the person who lived here an innocent victim... or a killer?Harrison Lane, Head of the Ritualistic Behavioural Crime Unit, is called to investigate the brutal assault of an African healer. The two attackers are normally law-abiding parishioners from the nearby Catholic church. Behind bars, the men claim they were acting in self-defence after the man used âÇÖvoodoo magicâÇÖ to curse their church, sending a wave of sudden deaths and sickness through the panicked congregation.While items like bones, ritual figures, robes and an altar are found at the healerâÇÖs home, Harrison is convinced theyâÇÖre not seeing the whole picture. But as more fall desperately sick, heâÇÖs running out of time to find out who - or what - is killing the parishioners.Why was the first victimâÇÖs body cremated before testing could be carried out? ItâÇÖs clear to Harrison that thereâÇÖs a killer in their midst, picking them off one by one then destroying the evidence. Is it a voodoo practitioner, or something far more evil much closer to home?A gripping police procedural with twists and turns you wonâÇÖt see coming, perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, LJ Ross and Matt Brolly.ááThis book was previously published under the title Holy Man by Gwyn GB.What readers are saying about this book:'A brilliant series of books that once I started, I could not put down...
