The Master House, close to the Welsh border, is medieval and slowly falling into ruins. Now the house and its surrounding land have been sold to the Duchy of Cornwall. But the Duchy's plans to renovate the house and its outbuildings are frustrated when the specialist builder refuses to work there. 'This is a place, ' he tells the Prince's land-steward, 'that doesn't want to be restored.' Directed by the Bishop of Hereford to investigate, deliverance consultant Merrily Watkins discovers ancient connections between the house and the nearby church, built by the Knights Templar whose shadow still envelopes isolated Garway Hill and its scattered communities. Why did all the local inns have astrological names? What deep history lies behind the vicious feud between two local families? And what happened here to intimidate even the great Edwardian ghost-story writer M R James? When Merrily learns that she - and even her daughter, Jane - are under surveillance by the security services, she's ready to quit. But a sudden death changes everything, and she returns to Garway to uncover fibres of fear and hatred stitched into history and now insidiously twisted in the corridors - and the cloisters - of power.

With slight shelf wear to spine, covers, corners and dust jacket.; Merrily Watkins Series; 16x24.5x4cms; 458 pages; Philip Rickman, known as Phil Rickman, is a British author primarily recognized for his works in the horror and supernatural fiction genres. He was born on November 22, 1957, in Lancashire, England. Rickman's writing often blends elements of horror, mystery, and the supernatural, creating intricate and atmospheric stories that captivate his readers. Rickman gained significant popularity for his series of novels featuring Merrily Watkins, a Church of England priest who also serves as a diocesan exorcist. These novels, collectively referred to as the "Merrily Watkins series, " often delve into themes of the paranormal, folklore, and the clash between modern skepticism and ancient beliefs. The series offers a unique perspective on the role of the Church in confronting supernatural phenomena. The Merrily Watkins series includes books such as: "The Wine of Angels" (1998) "Midwinter of the Spirit" (1999) "A Crown of Lights" (2001) "The Cure of Souls" (2001) "The Lamp of the Wicked" (2003) "The Prayer of the Night Shepherd" (2004) "The Smile of a Ghost" (2005) "The Remains of an Altar" (2006) "The Fabric of Sin" (2007) "To Dream of the Dead" (2009) "The Secrets of Pain" (2011) "The Magus of Hay" (2013) "All of a Winter's Night" (2017) Apart from the Merrily Watkins series, Phil Rickman has also written standalone novels and shorter works, many of which continue to explore themes of the supernatural, the unknown, and the psychological. Rickman's writing is often praised for its intricate plotting, deep character development, and atmospheric descriptions of the English countryside. His stories frequently incorporate historical references, local legends, and the complexities of religious belief. Rickman's ability to blend these elements has earned him a dedicated following among fans of horror, mystery, and supernatural fiction. It's worth noting that my knowledge is based on information available up until September 2021, so there may have been developments in Phil Rickman's career or new works that have been published since then.; Signed by Author.
