THE CURE OF SOULS first Pan paperback 2002 In Herefordshire's hop-growing country, where the river flows as dark as beer, a converted kiln is the scene of a savage murder. When the local vicar refuses to help its new owners cope with the aftermath, diocesan exorcist Merrily Watkins is sent in by the bishop. Already involved in the case of a schoolgirl whose deeply religious mother thinks she's possesssed by evil, the hesitant Merrily is drawn into a deadly tangle of deceit, corruption and sexual menace, as she uncovers the secrets of a village with a past as twisted as the hop-bines that once enclosed it. COMPLEX AND ELECTRIFYING
THE WINE OF ANGELS first Pan paperback 1999 The Rev. Merrily Watkins had never wanted a picture-postcard parish - or a huge and haunted vicarage. Nor had she particularly wanted to walk straight into a local dispute over a controversial play about a strange seventeenth-century clergyman accused of witchcraft ... a story that certain old-established families would rather remained obscure.

And also - as Merrily and her teenage daughtger Jane discover - a village where horrific murder is a tradition tghat spans centuries. WONDERFUL AND ENTHRALLING THRILLER

The Man in the Moss is one of the most fascinating finds of the century. But, for the isolated Pennine community of Bridelow, his removal is a sinister sign. A danger to the ancient spiritual tradition maintained, curiously, but the Mother's Union ... CRYBBE For four hundred years the curfew bell has tolled nightly from the church tower of the small country town, Crybbe's only defence against the evil rising unbidden in its haunted streets. Radio reporter Fay Morrison came to Crybbe because she had no choice. Millionaire music tycoon Max Goff came because there was nothing left to conquer, except the power of the spirit. But he knew nothing of the town's legacy of dark magic - and nobody really felt like telling him ...
