Midwinter of the spirit - Philip Rickman

THE SECOND INSTALMENT IN THE MERRILY WATKINS SERIES'They'll
follow you home... breathe down your phone at night... a
prime target
for every psychotic grinder of the dark satanic mills that
ever
sacrificed a chicken...'
Diocesan Exorcist: a job viewed by the Church of England with such extreme suspicion that they changed the name.It's
Deliverance Consultant now. Still, it seems, no job for a woman.
But
when the Bishop offers it to Merrily Watkins, parish priest and
single
mum, she's in no position to refuse. It starts badly for
Merrily and gets no easier. As an early winter slices through the old
city of Hereford, a body is found in the River Wye, an ancient church
is
desecrated and signs of evil appear in the cathedral itself, where
the
tomb of a medieval saint lies in pieces.
