The Devil's Moon
by Peter Guttridge
Brighton’s murderous past and criminal present are intriguingly combined in this absorbing thriller. Something strange is in the Brighton air around newly-promoted Detective Inspector Sarah Gilchrist. A body is found inside a burnt Wicker, a painting and manuscript are stolen, a vicar is missing. Gilchrist’s flatmate, Kate Simpson, discovers acts of sacrilege and grave robbing taking place in Brighton and the surrounding villages. And ex-Chief Constable Bob Watts is puzzling over inscriptions in his late father’s books – occult books. Old Religion and New Age collide and the body count mounts as the Devil’s Moon slowly rises . . .
