The Devil's Moon by Peter Guttridge

The Devil's Moon by Peter Guttridge

Brighton's murderous past and criminal present are intriguingly combined in this brand new series featuring some of the characters from the Brighton Trilogy Everywhere newly-promoted Sarah Gilchrist looks, unsettling things are happening. A Wicker Man is burned on the beach at dawn with a body inside; a painting titled The Devil's Altar is stolen from the Brighton Museum; a vicar who casts out demons goes missing; and a rare medieval manuscript of the occult Key of Solomon is stolen from the Jubilee Library.

Then Gilchrist's flatmate, Kate Simpson, discovers that acts of sacrilege and grave robbing have been routinely taking place in Brighton and the surrounding villages. And ex-Chief Constable Bob Watts is puzzling over inscriptions in his late father's books. Specifically, books by occult writers Dennis Wheatley, Colin Pearson - and the feared Aleister Crowley, cremated in Brighton in 1947.

Old Religion and New Age collide and the body count mounts as the Devil's Moon slowly rises .

Guttridge, Peter: - Award-winning comic crime author Peter Guttridge turned from the Daft Side to the Dark Side for his Brighton mystery series, which started with the City of Dreadful Night and with the last in the series being 2014's Those Who Feel Nothing. He was also the Observer's crime fiction critic for twelve years, meaning he's read far more crime fiction than is good for him.
