Items related to The Magus of Hay (12) (Merrily Watkins Mysteries)
An unnatural body, a town steeped in black magic, and maddening isolation—has paranormal advisor Merrily Watkins finally met her match?
A man's body is found below a waterfall. It looks like suicide or an accidental drowning—until DI Frannie Bliss enters the dead man's home. What he finds there sends him to Merrily Watkins, the Diocese of Hereford's official advisor on the paranormal. It's been nearly 40 years since Hay was declared an independent state by its self-styled king—a development seen at the time as a joke, a publicity scam. But behind this pastiche a dark design was taking shape, creating a hidden history of murder and ritual-magic, the relics of which are only now becoming horribly visible. It's a situation that will take Merrily Watkins—alone for the first time in years—to the edge of madness.

About the Author:
Phil Rickman is the author of the Merrily Watkins Mystery series.
Review:
"Compassionate, original and sharply contemporary, Rickman's crime series is one of the best around." —Spectator
"Few writers blend the ancient and supernatural with the modern and criminal better than Rickman. Merrily Watkins is both strikingly original and consistently intriguing... A fascinating portrayal of ancient grudges and shifting allegiances make this an absorbing and thought-provoking thriller." —Guardian
"First rate crime with demons that go bump in the night." —Daily Mail

The castle was moonlight-vast, all its ages fused together by the shadows, chimney stacks like the backs of hands turned black.Hay-on-Wye: a eccentric medieval town known for its dozens of secondhand bookshops. and for having its own king. Now in the grip of recession, Hay is fighting for its future. Not the best time to open a bookshop, but Robin and Betty are desperate, and only Betty worries about the oppressive atmosphere of the shop they're renting.Merrily Watkins, diocesan exorcist for nearby Hereford, knows little about Hay until a body is found in the dark pool below a waterfall on the outskirts of the town and the police ask her to assist. The dead man's peculiar interests will open a passage to the hidden heart of Hay and a secret history of magic and ritual murder. And Merrily is alone and vulnerable as never before. When a man's body is discovered near the picturesque town of Hay-on-Wye, his death appears to be 'unnatural' in every sense. Merrily Watkins, priest, single mother and exorcist, is drafted in to investigate. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
