Circle of Shadows

When Evie Winstanley''s father, a collector of occult books, dies in suspicious circumstances, she decides to investigate . . . even though private detection is no profession for a woman of standing in Edwardian Britain. When Evie stumbles across a mention of the mysterious ''circle of shadows'', she begins to suspect occult involvement. Her pursuit of the truth leads her via a seance in a house on the Yorkshire moors, to legends of an ancient monster, and a sinister cult hidden amongst the elite of an Oxford University college. But some things are better left undisturbed, and when the body of a young woman marked with occult symbols is discovered floating in a river in Oxford, Evie realises that this is far bigger than one death . . . and that her own life, and the lives of those she loves, might very well be in danger.
