Résumé :

An ear-shattering scream pierces the quiet Glasgow street as a mother stands frozen in her doorway, groceries strewn at her feet. Her son holds a bloodied knife while his father lies dead before him.

As Logan Martin begins his prison sentence for the brutal murder of his father, the eighteen-year-old's aunt hires private investigator Te?rlach Paterson. She believes Logan is innocent and wants Te?rlach to uncover the truth.

Te?rlach's visit to the Martin family home yields two disturbing discoveries: a pentagram etched under the carpet in Logan's sister's bedroom, and a link to the sinister deaths of their elderly neighbours--a journal with the same ominous symbol lies in the couple's home.

While ritualistic murders plague the city, bodies placed precisely on an occult pentagram, bound in intricate knots, Te?rlach and his team unearth the sinister inspiration behind the killings in a mysterious ancient map.

Then, two young women are reported missing, and Te?rlach fears the worst. He's inching closer to a killer who is weaving a complex web of murder rooted in Glasgow's pagan past. But can Te?rlach stop the twisted soul from carrying out another cruel ritual? This time, one of his own is about to be in grave danger.

A completely thrilling and atmospheric page-turner that will keep you reading deep into the night from a CWA New Blood Dagger Longlist author and McIlvanney Best Scottish Crime Novel Finalist. Perfect for fans of LJ Ross, Ann Cleeves, and Val McDermid.
