About this ebook
'God, he's good' Stephen King
A BURNING PYRE
The smell of roasting meat alerts police to squatters in an abandoned London factory. But when they arrive, the place is empty... except for a gruesome pile of scorched human heads.
AN ANCIENT RITUAL
Arcane markings on the factory wall lead DS Jamila Patel and DC Jerry Pardoe to a terrifying cult in thrall to a Neolithic god. They have solved bizarre crimes before, but nothing as terrifying as this - a god who demands the ultimate sacrifice from his followers.
A INSATIABLE CULT
Now Londoners are being abducted off the city streets, to be mutilated, roasted and eaten. Can Patel and Pardoe save the next victim from this hideous fate? Or will they themselves become a human sacrifice?
ALSO IN THE PATEL & PARDOE SERIES
#1 GHOST VIRUS
#2 THE CHILDREN OF GOD FORGOT
#3 THE SHADOW PEOPLE
#4 WHAT HIDES IN THE CELLAR
#5 COMING SOON...
Praise for Graham Masterton:
'A true master of horror' James Herbert
'One of the most original and frightening storytellers of our time' Peter James

'Masterton handles his large cast of well-drawn characters with the finesse of a master storyteller' Guardian
'This is a first-class thriller with some juicy horror touches' Booklist
