St Michael’s Church may be derelict but it’s not deserted. Someone still comes here to worship on nights when the moon is full.
Arnold Landon should know. He’s seen the grisly evidence for himself.
Blood among the roses.
The butchered remains of a man, tangled in the undergrowth.
The victim was a traveller. How did he come to be in the churchyard?
Arnold has a theory that leads back centuries, all the way to the cult of the Raging Wolf. Everyone tells him it’s impossible, that the cultists are dead and buried.
But the devil wears many faces — Arnold’s worked in planning long enough to know that much for sure.
Can he unmask the modern-day killer before anyone else pays the price?
Fans of Elly Griffiths, Peter James, P.D. James, Damien Boyd, Helen H. Durrant, J.D. Kirk, Bill Kitson and Peter Robinson will devour this intriguing mystery.

THE DETECTIVE
Planning Officer Arnold Landon is inhibited and painfully aware of his lack of academic credentials. He lives in the North East of England and as self-taught archaeologist he confounds academic experts with his detailed knowledge, which involves him in a local murder. His expertise brings him promotion to the Archaeology Department where he meets frustration, which he nevertheless overcomes by making important discoveries of ancient artefacts while playing a leading role in solving local crimes. A succession of opportunities for further promotion pass him by because of his desire to remain in touch with the detailed history of sites in Northumberland and this leads to more conflict, first with his inadequate superior and then with the stunningly beautiful Karen Stannard and, later in his career, the Italian archaeologist Carmela Cacciatore.
