One wet, windswept November morning, a field on a desolate farm gives up the dismembered bones of eleven women...

But then a young woman goes missing, and her remains, the bones carefully stripped and arranged in an arcane patterns, are discovered on the same farm.

With the crimes of the past echoing in the present, D.S. Katie Maguire must solve a decades-old murder steeped in ancient legend... before this terrifying killer strikes again.

Ratings and reviews

Book won't open on my nexus 7. Google support non existent. Edit - opened on another device. Note- this book is horror with a crime background. Be warned, it contains lengthy and graphic descriptions of a young woman being skinned alive. This is not made clear in the blurb. Will be distressing to many readers. See Amazon reviews and this is made clear. Should really have warning as the content is very grisly.

I've been a Masterton fan since I picked up Charnel House in my late teens. He never disappoints and this new blend of horror and mystery has me hooked. Horror how it should be and suspense to hold you. A series worthy of buying the paperbacks for my shelves.

An awesome read which bridges main stream horror with modern crime thrillers, set in beautiful Ireland. There is pure genius around the book's halfway mark that will stay with me for a long, long time.
