Patel and Pardoe investigate an eerie string of murders in the new chilling thriller from Graham Masterton.

'God, he's good.' Stephen King

A SEVERED HEAD
A grisly series of murders across London is baffling local authorities. Eyewitnesses describe suspects who are only partially visible – one appears to have no feet, another no head, a fourth is missing his entire right side.

A SUPERNATURAL CASE
These murders are neither straightforward nor easily explained, which means there are only two people fit to investigate: DS Jamila Patel and DC Jerry Pardoe, who are used to tracking spirits intent on causing mayhem.

A BLOODY HISTORY
When two children go missing – finding themselves lost in another time period altogether – the investigation leads to the discovery of a violent entity. One who has been killing for much longer than anyone first realised – and has no plans to stop...

For fans of Peter James and Stephen King, Graham Masterton is a master of the horror genre whose books have sold millions of copies across the globe.
