Synopsis

Journalist Kate Mallory is covering a routine case of vandalism in a local churchyard when she comes across a mysterious foreign banknote and a drawing of an ancient talisman, the Seal of Ashmedai, used in rituals of black magic. At the same time, Richard Torrey is haunted by a young woman, dressed in white, who begs his help. But why can no one else see or hear her? Together, Kate and Richard decide to investigate a possible connection between these random events. They do not expect to find themselves embroiled in an attempt to create the havoc of war in the Middle East, large-scale currency counterfeiting - and devil worship.

Media Reviews
The Judas Touch: 'Meg Hutchinson's tales enthrall...satisfying' - Bolton Evening News; No Place for a Woman: 'Meg Hutchinson's storytelling skills are attracting a bigger and bigger audience' - Newcastle Evening Chronicle; Child of Sin: 'Another beautifully and sympathetically crafted Meg Hutchinson novel' - Nuneaton Evening Telegraph 'Hutchinson captivates by developing loveable, strong-willed characters, delving into real-life situations and resolving dilemmas along the way. Above all, this tale shows the path of life never runs smooth' - Newcastle Journal; A Promise Given: 'Meg fits into a tradition before television when families sat around a fire and told stories. Not epic stories but the tales of their families and friends, an oral history of a place and its people. Her place and people are Wednesbury in the West Midlands.' - Peter Pannett, Guernsey Evening Post
Author Bio
Meg Hutchinson left school at fifteen and didn't return to education until she was thirty-three, when she entered Teacher Training College and studied for her degree in the evenings. Telling stories and writing compositions have been part of Meg's life since a child and she now indulges this passion in a little cottage in Shropshire. With her new nom de plume, Margaret Astbury, she turns her formidable story-telling talent to a new genre.
