About this ebook

When the lead officer of a joint investigation is hospitalised, evidence retrieved supports the unbelievable reports that have been coming in.

DI Dan Higgin is sent to take over the operation in NW13. He's to solve and conclude this gruesome case that had been thought closed.

Dan's used to dealing with strange cases and interference, but the nature of the assailants and the escalating number of victims forces some unusual choices upon him.

As he and his team start to discover what’s behind the situation, more mysteries come to light. The motives of those causing the mayhem are tangled. Some are modern, others rooted deep in the past.

What eventually becomes clear is the nature of the threat.

In a race against time, they must unravel this mix of mad science, elder secrets, greed and revenge before it kills them all and goes on to kill thousands more.

Julian M. Miles

Julian’s first loves were science fantasy and magic; the blending of ancient and futuristic. This led him to a love of speculative fiction, initially as a reader, then as a reader and writer.He started writing at school, extended into writing role-playing game scenarios, and thence into bardic storytelling. In 2011 he published his first books, in 2012 he released more (along with the smallest complete role-playing system in the world).With over 30 books published in digital and physical formats, he has no intention of stopping this writing lark anytime soon, and he'd be delighted if you'd care to join him for a book or two.
