About this ebook
Murder and the Devil is a study of evil. Lancashire, 1337, thirty-four-year-old Jake Broadoak kills a brutal lord in an act of revenge and has to flee his native land. He settles in Yorkshire and becomes the head of a small community, but then a plague destroys all the inhabitants of Middleham including Jake. In 1970, Racid meets with his wife, and a few years afterwards their sinful trade begins. In the same year, in Russia, a 'special' girl is born, and her life is destined to be caught up in the Racids' relentless quest for Hell. A strange gypsy boy is taken in by the Racids, and in time, a series of murders begin.
