Shadows of Redemption: Supernatural Suspense with Monsters
A new chapter in terror begins…
Paranormal investigator, Professor Marcus Mortlake, has faced darkness beyond imagination. He still bears the scars of his battles against supernatural evil. And he is still haunted by nightmares of the terror he has faced. But despite his weakened state, when a friend comes to him for help, Mortlake is ready for action once more…
His investigation into the eccentric behavior of a village priest quickly spirals into something far more dangerous. A dark presence lurks in the fog-shrouded hills of Norfolk. The local animals sense it. Even the villagers can detect it in the air. And Mortlake is certain that this is only the beginning.
Sinister voices chant in the darkness. A blight spoils crops on the outskirts of town. Something is awakening beneath the sleepy village streets. A dark being not seen since primordial times. An evil presence unlike anything Mortlake has faced before.
A being that will sacrifice the innocent souls of children to gain the power it desperately craves.
Unless Mortlake can stop it in time…

It's great to see Professor Mortlake back in action again. He has mostly recovered from his injuries suffered in earlier books and now travels to a small village to deal with an entity that seems to be benevolent and good but may not be what it appears.
To me, this book was an allegory about the folly of following false messiahs and self-important charismatic leaders. It exposes the bleak residue left behind by these petty tyrants. Mortlake is able to resist the power of the entity but his lover and most of the residents of the village are soon brought under its spell.
This has all the earmarks of a great series. I'm looking forward to the next entry.

A different kind of terror
This was a very interesting read, with the terror beginning when someone opens a door that should have never been opened. The characters are great, the plot is intriguing and the action is intense.
