The Dead Virgins (The India Sommers Mysteries, #1)

A young girl is found crucified. A man is bludgeoned to death outside a small English library, and the Mother Superior of a secretive convent is burnt alive in a cemetery. India Sommers, a young and attractive librarian with a passion for history, joins forces with intelligence officer, Brandon Walker, investigating the disappearance of a very special young girl. It soon becomes apparent that a string of strange murders across Southern England, and an ancient artefact missing for thousands of years may hold the key to her whereabouts.
The clues stretch back through time to before the great flood, and, as the facts are uncovered, and the full horror and mind blowing truth of what they have discovered becomes clear, they become involved in a frantic race against time in a horrific and shocking finale.
