To the distaste of the Compton Dando villagers, the big house has been
taken over by a group of New Age eccentrics. And when the first death is
reported, no one is surprised ... or disappointed. The coroner rules it
an accident.
But only weeks later, there's another death. And this time, it is
murder.
Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby is called to the scene immediately,
and there'll be no escape until he has sifted through the world of
psychics, cult leaders and horrifying deaths to get to the cause of it
all.
