Beschreibung

"She had no more than one or two days left to live. She could feel it. The agonizing pain in her throat, the blinding headaches... there wasn’t much time left. She had tried everything, absolutely everything, and the only thing that could save her now was a miracle...”

When the Lady Laduga is sentenced to death in 1722, she makes a pact with a mysterious stranger... a pact that will grant her eternal life. But there is a price to pay. Three-hundred years later, her ancient evil awakens and a small town in England is plunged into a blood-soaked nightmare. Detective Chief Inspector John Sinclair works for Scotland Yard’s Special Division, an elite unit that deals with extraordinary cases. DCI Sinclair is a battle-hardened veteran of Afghanistan, a man haunted by the past. He’s never forgotten the horrors of war, but what he encounters in the village of Hillside is an evil far beyond anything he could possibly imagine...

+++ "A hero so suave and dashing, he makes James Bond look like a grubby detective sergeant, a plot that reads like it came straight from the great vaults of Hammer, and enough action and derring do to keep even the most ardent pulp fan smiling with glee.[...] A tight, punchy read that heralds the start of a great new series of pulp horror. Highly recommended." Ginger Nuts of Horror

Hillside, Gloucestershire, 1722.

She had no more than one or two days left to live. She could feel it the agonizing pain in her throat, the blinding headaches … there wasnt much time left. She had tried everything, absolutely everything, and the only thing that could save her now was a miracle.

The chain was heavy around her neck. She had, for days now, been clawing at it, until her fingernails had broken off. Then she scratched at the stone floor into which the chain had been embedded. Her fingers had turned to bloody stumps of flesh and bone. The pain was excruciating, but at that point, she was willing to endure anything, just to get to the jug.

The jug of water that was standing on the table.
