false<![CDATA[Ritual]]>http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1211596666m/2714797.jpg271479711Just after lunch on a Tuesday in April, nine feet underwater, police diver Flea Marley closes her gloved fingers around a human hand.
The fact that there's no body attached is disturbing enough. Yet more disturbing is the discovery, a day later, of the matching hand. Both have been recently amputated, and the indications are that the victim was still alive when they were removed.
DI Jack Caffery has been newly seconded to the Major Crime Investigation Unit in Bristol. He and Flea soon establish that the hands belong to a boy who has recently disappeared.
Their search for him - and for his abductor - leads them into the darkest recesses of Bristol's underworld, where drug addiction is rife, where street-kids sell themselves for a hit, and where an ancient evil lurks; an evil that feeds off the blood - and flesh - of others.27403522008Ritualtotal:140|5:19|4:57|3:50|2:13|1:1|1405002253250falsefalseTue Sep 08 00:00:00 -0700 2009Wed Sep 09 09:34:59 -0700 2009Wed Sep 09 09:36:15 -0700 2009
