The Remains of An Altar by Phil Rickman

The Remains of An Altar by Phil Rickman

In high summer, darkness descends on Elgar's England. Investigating a series of road accidents in the Malvern Hills, Merrily Watkins stumbles into a barbed tangle of alienation, murder... and a mystical obsession with the landscape.
