Simon Murphy

A burnt out London policeman is moved to a small sleepy English village where he hopes to spend his days doing nothing more than calming disputes between farmers and local residents. However, he soon finds life in this sleepy village holds more than just everyday simple infringements of the law. A series of brutal murders begin to happen and these are eventually traced to the local Inn where it comes to light that ancient Roman religious sects and deities form an integral part of the murders. He soon becomes trapped in their web of deceit and he himself becomes an offering to the God. His colleague, a pretty young police officer, is all that stands in the way of him being sacrificed.
