Aprašymas

An otherwordly place. An unnatural monster. A grisly murder...The date is 1205.Aumary Belvoir warden of the forest of Savernake and the king's constable in the county of Wiltshire has barely been able to conclude his last inquiry before he is called again to investigate the most horrendous of crimes.Summoned to the village of Avebury, a place surrounded by huge stones synonymous with mystery and magic, he discovers a terrible slaughter which it is said, has been perpetrated by an evil creature as tall as the ancient stones themselves.Has Hell disgorged one of its devils?Can Aumary catch the sinister monster before more innocents die?Will Aumary be drawn into the evil magic of the place or will common sense prevail?This sad tale of Mediaeval myth, prejudice and persecution will draw you in and leave you looking over your shoulder........Have you ever wondered what might be the story behind some of our most beloved ancient folk airs? This, the fifth in a series based upon such songs, interprets the disquieting lyrics of the song, Long Lankin and lays before the reader an eerily disturbing account.
