House of Flies

A clergyman is murdered in his bed in the dead of night, triggering a chilling chain of events, each more bizarre and unnerving than the last - brutal killings, corpses vanishing, decomposed bodies digging their way out of graves.

These shocking events seem unconnected but, at each scene, people report witnessing swarms of flies - hundreds, thousands, even millions of them.

As DI Patel and DS Pardoe hunt for the mastermind behind these atrocious crimes, they are forced to ask: is this person human - or is all of this linked to the mysterious figure caught on CCTV, running at speed without moving its legs?

And can they stop the swarm before they themselves are consumed?

Book 5 in the Patel & Pardoe series.
