The Jackal Man - Kate Ellis

When a girl is strangled and left for dead by an attacker she described as having the head of a dog. But when the body of another young woman is found, DI Wesley Peterson suspects that the killer is performing an ancient ritual linked to Anubis, the jackal-headed Egyptian god of death. Meanwhile, archaeologist Neil Watson has been called to Varley Castle to catalogue the collection of Edwardian Egyptologist Sir Frederick Varley. As his research progresses, Neil discovers that Wesley's strange murder case bears sinister similarities to four murders that took place in 1903 - murders said to have been committed by Sir Frederick's son.
