'PHANTOMS. - I WILL NOT CONCLUDE THAT THERE IS NO TRUTH AT ALL IN THESE REPORTS. I BELIEVE THAT ORDINARILY THERE HAVE BEEN SUCH APPARITIONS.'

John Aubrey, The Natural History of Wiltshire

Deep winter, 1659. The dying days of the English Republic - and a killer is abroad on Salisbury Plain. Roundhead officer Captain Foxe fears that the horribly mutilated bodies found at ancient pagan sites point to a more than mortal cause. A long-buried evil, from the very depths of hell, is awakening.

For Robert, Captain Foxe's son, the rising tide of darkness will result in exile - from his home, from his family, from all that he loved. His quest for revenge will take him from the dark mysteries of Stonehenge to the ravishing temptations of Restoration London, from the labyrinthine Ghetto of Prague to the virgin forest of the new World. Weaving the fantastic with scrupulously documented historical, Deliver Us From Evil dazzles even as it terrifies.
