The Remains of An Altar by Phil Rickman
Merrily is called in to investigate an alleged paranormal dimension to a spate of road accidents in the Malvern village of Wychehill, where she discovers new tensions in Elgar's countryside. The take-over of a local pub by a nightclub owner has become the battle-ground between the defenders of Olde Englande and the hard-men of drug culture.
'Compassionate, original and sharply contemporary, Rickman's crime series is one of the best around' The Spectator 'This is no rural paradise, but a setting for an uneasy mix of embittered farmers, escapees from the city and a local pub with a reputation for drug dealing It's probably his best book.' Sunday Telegraph 'Crime fiction lovers who like their stories with a quirky twist need look no further.' Yorkshire Evening Post
Phil Rickman lives on the Welsh border where he writes and presents the book programme Phil the Shelf for BBC Radio Wales. He is the author of seven Merrily Watkins Mysteries, introducing the Reverend in The Wine of Angels, and charting her career as the diocesan exorcist with Midwinter of the Spirit, A Crown of Lights, The Cure of Souls, The Lamp of the Wicked, The Prayer of the Night Shepherd and The Smile of a Ghost.
