Book Description
An evil opponent threatens all Rebecca holds dear... Paul Doherty writes a mesmerising tale of mystery, history and love in his masterful novel, The Soul Slayer. Perfect for fans of C.J. Sansom and Susanna Gregory. Eighteen-year-old Rebecca Lennox, the daughter of a former priest, is neglected and feared by the villagers of Dunmow in Essex. They regard her as cursed, by both her hare lip and her gift of second sight. Rebecca finds solace in the statue of St Michael the Archangel, to whom she prays devotedly within the sanctity of her old parish church. But when a young Catholic priest arrives in the village it seems that she has finally found a mortal confidant. Michael is not repelled by her infirmity and his charm and gentleness remind her of her beloved statue. Then in the late summer changes come to Dunmow. A new parson is appointed - more interested in the black arts than the teachings of religion. For Henry Frogmore, holy orders are merely a convenient cover for his nefarious activities, but in Rebecca and Michael he finds powerful opponents. And in the ensuing struggle, the price for each of them is all too heavy... What readers are saying about The Soul Slayer: 'One of the best books I have ever read' 'I became so engrossed in this book that I didn't want it to end' 'This is superior writing, an excellent story with vivid, interesting characters'

Pages : 325
Book Description
Only when the Nan-yang Maru sailed from Yuen-San did her terrible sense of foreboding begin to subside. For four years, waking or sleeping, the awful subconsciousness of supreme evil had never left her. But now, as the Korean shore, receding into darkness, grew dimmer and dimmer, fear subsided and grew vague as the half-forgotten memory of horror in a dream. She stood near the steamer's stern apart from other passengers, a slender, lonely figure in her silver-fox furs, her ulster and smart little hat, watching the lights of Yuen-San grow paler and smaller along the horizon until they looked like a level row of stars. Under her haunted eyes Asia was slowly dissolving to a streak of vapour in the misty lustre of the moon. Suddenly the ancient continent disappeared, washed out by a wave against the sky; and with it vanished the last shreds of that accursed nightmare which had possessed her for four endless years. But whether during those unreal years her soul had only been held in bondage, or whether, as she had been taught, it had been irrevocably destroyed, she still remained uncertain, knowing nothing about the death of souls or how it was accomplished. As she stood there, her sad eyes fixed on the misty East, a passenger passing—an Englishwoman—paused to say something kind to the young American; and added, "if there is anything my husband and I can do it would give us much pleasure." The girl had turned her head as though not comprehending. The other woman hesitated.

Book Description
Some people collect baseball cards, some people collect Beanie Babies... some people collect souls. A vision of a young girl in pain leads Angel, Doyle and Cordelia to the scene just moments too late - the girl of the vision is being taken unconscious to hospital. The only clue as to what could have happened to her is an ornate glass vial found at the foot of her bed, which Doyle recognises as used for the containment of human souls. It seems souls have many uses (other than the obvious): no two are alike, and the soul of an innocent child is one of the most eagerly sought-after items on the demonic black market. Angel knows the value of a human soul, for his is the source of his own salvation. But can he find this young girl's in time to save her? Nor is she the only one in danger. For no sooner has Angel made his presence known than the demonic dealers in souls realise that there's another soul out there which is quite literally priceless...a soul more unique than they could ever have dared to dream...
