✦ Synopsis

'A smile so cold, so bleak, so devoid of hope ... only this perpetual, bitter ... terminality.' In the affluent, historic town of Ludlow, a teenage boy dies in a fall from the castle ruins. Accident or suicide? No great mystery, so why does the boy's uncle, newly-retired detective sergeant Andy Mumford take his personal fears to diocesan exorcist Merrily Watkins? More people will die before Merrily, her own future uncertain, uncovers in those shadowed, medieval streets, a dangerous obsession with suicide, the nature of death and the afterlife.;Cover; Author biography; Title page; Copyright page; Contents; Mumford; PART ONE: Robbie; 1.
