To The Devil - A Daughter: Dennis Wheatley

Why did the solitary girl leave her rented house only for short walks at night? Why was she so frightened? Why did animals shrink away from her? The girl herself didn't know. Molly Fountain, the no-nonsense neighbour, was determined to find the answer. She sent for a wartime secret service colleague to come and help. What they discovered was horrifying beyond anything they could have imagined...the young, beautiful girl is being groomed to be the sacrificial virgin at a ceremony... her death will give life to a hideous creature that lurks beneath the ancient stones of Bentford Priory. Writer Molly Fontaine and her son John battle time, ruthless gangsters and the forces of evil to try to save Christina.
