Phil Rickman

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.

'First rate crime with demons that go bump in the night.'
The Daily Mail

Rickman once again skilfully weaves folklore, religion and police work together in the latest episode in this electrifying series.

When Aidan Lloyd's bleak funeral is followed by a nocturnal ritual in the fog, it becomes all too clear that Aidan, son of a wealthy farmer, will not be resting in peace. Aidan's hidden history has reignited an old feud, and a rural tradition begins to display its sinister side. It's already a fraught time for Merrily Watkins, her future threatened by a bishop committed to restricting her role as diocesan exorcist for Hereford. Suddenly there are events she can't talk about as she and her daughter Jane find themselves potentially on the wrong side of the law. In the city of Hereford, DI Frannie Bliss, investigating a shooting, must confront the apparent growth of organised crime, also contaminating the countryside. On the Welsh border, the old ways are at war with the modern world. As the days shorten and the fog gives way to ice and snow, a savage killing draws Merrily Watkins into a conflict centred on one of Britain's most famous medieval churches, its walls laden with ancient symbolism.

'I have a thing for long series with complex characters, moral ambiguity and evocative writing, and Rickman's Merrily Watkins series is one of the very best.'
Diana Gabaldon, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Outlander series
