Twist of fate

£9.99

A man goes on the rampage in London, killing people in a seemingly random attack. One of the victims is researcher Jethro Durdage, whose sister Claudine witnesses everything. Riven by grief, Claudine retreats to the house in the Fens where she and Jethro grew up. As she starts to process what happened, she finds out the police believe Jethro was not the victim but the orchestrator of the attack. Why would a gentle, kindly man want to cause such bloodshed – and why would he include himself in the list of victims? Claudine soon finds herself down a rabbit hole of mystery. What was causing Jethro such unease on the day of his death? His research into a medieval cult could be the key, and the more she investigates, the more Claudine is troubled by the same unease that plagued her brother. Can she solve the riddle before more people die – or will the darkness get to her too?
