Gripping throughout. Powerful, classic stuff.
The Times
Crisp prose, excellent dialogue and real sense of mounting evil.
Time Out
Grimly sinister. Written with blood-curdling aplomb.
Sunday Telegraph
Phil Rickman is one of my all-time favorites. I love everything he's done, from horror to mystery to supernatural thriller - often all in the same book.
- Diana Gabaldon,
A standalone supernatural thriller from the author of the chilling Merrily Watkins Mysteries
Glastonbury, legendary resting place of the Holy Grail, is a mysterious and haunting town. But when plump, dizzy Diane Ffitch returns home, it's with a sense of deep unease - and not only about her aristocratic family's reaction to her broken engagement and her New Age companions.
Plans for a new motorway have intensified the old bitterness between the local people and the 'pilgrims', so already the sacred air is soured. And, as the town becomes increasingly split by violence and death, Diane, local bookseller Juanita Carey and the writer Joe Powys must now face up to the worst of all possibilities: the existence of an anti-Grail - the dark chalice.
