The Shadow People

Jerry Pardoe and Jamila Patel hunt down a ritualistic cult inspired by Neolithic cannibals in the new chilling horror from Graham Masterton.

'God, he's good' Stephen King

A BURNING PYRE
The smell of roasting meat alerts police to squatters in an abandoned London factory. But when they arrive, the place is empty... except for a gruesome pile of scorched human heads.

AN ANCIENT RITUAL
Arcane markings on the factory wall lead DS Jamila Patel and DC Jerry Pardoe to a terrifying cult in thrall to a Neolithic god. They have solved bizarre crimes before, but nothing as terrifying as this - a god who demands the ultimate sacrifice from his followers.

A INSATIABLE CULT
Now Londoners are being abducted off the city streets, to be mutilated, roasted and eaten. Can Patel and Pardoe save the next victim from this hideous fate? Or will they themselves become a human sacrifice?
