Synopsis

When Bobby Maiden is revived after dying in an accident, his memories are of a harsh place he doesn't wish to revisit. But his experience means that he may be able to reach a serial murderer who returns to stone circles, burial mounds, and churches in the belief that he is defending Britain's heritage.

About this title

About the Author:

Will Kingdom is the pseudonym of Phil Rickman, author of the Reverend Merrily Watkins paranormal mystery series. He has been praised by KIRKUS REVIEWS as "A thinking reader’s Elizabeth George."

From AudioFile:

Sean Barrett turns in a fine performance of this sprawling hodgepodge of a thriller, but it's not without problems. It's your basic serial killer deal, except that this killer thinks he's England's ancient pagan deity, the Green Man, plus you have your cross-dressing shaman subplot, the faith healer who is not who she seems subplot, the vanished American New Ager subplot, the sensitive police inspector on the run from his corrupt bosses subplot, and the anthropologist turned TV-exploiter-of-the-gullible subplot. When the story jumps from one to the next, there must be white spaces on the page, but there are none in the ear. To add to the confusion, Barrett's acting is terrific, but you often can't tell from the voicing what character he's doing. B.G. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
