The House of Susan Lulham

Description

The angular, modernist house was an unexpected bargain for Zoe and Jonathan Mahonie - newcomers to the city of Hereford and apparently unaware that the house's pristine, white interior walls had been coated with the lifeblood of a previous owner. How is Merrily Watkins, diocesan exorcist for Hereford, to know if Zoe Mahonie is lying or deluded when she claims that the wrathful Susan Lulham is still in residence? Then comes another bloody death. Who is the real killer?'

Phil Rickman lives on the Welsh border where he writes and presents the book programme Phil the Shelf on BBC Radio Wales. He is the acclaimed author of The Heresy of Dr Dee, The Bones of Avalon, Midwinter of the Spirit (now a major ITV series), the Merrily Watkins series and the John Dee Papers.

Ancient history, violent deaths, feuds, intrigues and murder. A most original sleuth. * The Times * First rate crime with demons that go bump in the night. * Daily Mail * Compassionate, original and sharply contemporary, Rickman's crime series is one of the best around. * Spectator * Few writers blend the ancient and supernatural with the modern and criminal better than Rickman. * Guardian * Phil Rickman is one of my all-time favourites. I love everything he's done, from horror to mystery to supernatural thriller - often all in the same book. -- Diana Gabaldon
