Ivory MacIntyre: Chalice of the Dead, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

What if fairy-tale creatures were not fiction, but vengeful reality? England, 1904. Strange events unfold in the city of Fenhole. Gigantic black hounds with glowing eyes emerge from the vast nearby moor and kill a wealthy landowner. Soon after, several townsfolk are mysteriously mummified overnight, sending panic and terror through the city. Rumors swirl of curses and witches that have risen from the moor. Forensic pathologist Diana and private investigator Cole are determined to find a rational explanation before more lives are lost. But loner Nell sees unsettling parallels to the murder of her own parents twenty-five years earlier. Could these be the very same beasts? When the enigmatic witch-hunter Reece arrives in Fenhole, dark powers begin to stir in the moor - evil forces that have been imprisoned for two thousand years. A race against time begins, in which Cole, Diana, Nell, and Reece must confront their deepest fears - in a world where mythical creatures are no longer harmless fairy tales.
