"At an archaeological site near Hamburg, scientists make a gruesome discovery: the leader of the excavation team is found dead, her naked body covered in strange runes. Chief Inspector Jörg Albrecht and his heavily pregnant colleague Hannah Friedrichs are assigned to what turns out to be one of their most difficult cases. The dead woman had evidently made some powerful enemies, and her team is riven with conflict. All the clues seem to point to a mysterious neo-pagan sect. When more corpses are found on the moors, the pressure to solve the case mounts quickly. Albrecht realises that the alleged sect is the perfect scapegoat; meanwhile the real killer carries on pulling all the strings.
• The third thriller in the haunting series with Chief Inspector Albrecht. Already published: I Am the Lord of Your Fear and Open Up Your Soul."
