Kuhusu kitabu hiki cha kusikiliza

A man's body is found below a waterfall. It looks like suicide or an accidental drowning – until DI Frannie Bliss enters the dead man's home. What he finds there has him consulting Merrily Watkins, the Diocese of Hereford's official advisor on the paranormal. It's nearly 40 years since the town of Hay-on-Wye was declared an independent state by its self-styled king. A development seen at the time as a joke. But the pastiche had a serious side. And behind it, unknown to most of the townsfolk, lay a darker design, a hidden history of murder and ritual magic, the relics of which are only now becoming visible. It's a situation that will take Merrily Watkins – on her own for the first time in years and facing public humiliation over a separate case – to the edge of madness.

Kuhusu mwandishi

Phil Rickman is the author of the Merrily Watkins mysteries, the new John Dee series and several novels of the paranormal, including two for children under the name Thom Madley. He’s still trying to write the sometimes-transcendental thriller (an all-the-time transcendental thriller would be bloody unreadable, so it’s a balancing act). Born in Lancashire, he’s spent most of his adult life in Wales and the Border country, where he won a couple of awards for his work as a BBC radio and TV news reporter. First novel, Candlenight (1991) was discovered by the novelist and fiction-editor Alice Thomas Ellis and was followed by four other stand-alone ghost stories before the Merrily Watkins series began with The Wine of Angels. Phil lives near Hay-on-Wye with his wife and editor, Carol – they met as journalists on the same paper – and a bunch of animals. He writes and presents the book programme Phil the Shelf on BBC Radio Wales.

Emma Powell is an experienced voiceover artist who has performed for some of the world's most renowned theater companies, including RSC, Almeida, and the National Theatre. She has voiced characters for BBC radio dramas as well as countless audiobooks, corporate projects, games and ads. In 2016 one of her audiobooks, Without a Trace by Lesley Pearce, was the most borrowed audiobook from British libraries, beating Harry Potter into second and third place. She voices the Phil Rickman thrillers, the fantasy Graceling Trilogy, and countless other novels.
