Publisher's Synopsis
Two young children are playing a game called Witch-Hunter, cursing a woman sitting in a church courtyard they wait for her to die. And die she does in St Bride's Church. Unfortunately Bryant and May are refused the case. Instead they're investigating why the wife of their greatest enemy has suddenly started to behave strangely; she believes she's the victim of witchcraft. There's a brutal stabbing in a London park and suddenly a connection is found between the two investigations. Probing behind the city's facades, they uncover a world of hidden passageways, covert loyalties and murder.
