Shrike

Shrike: — the butcher bird. A creature with a very nasty habit.

So says the editor of the local newspaper. But neither he, nor anyone else knows what is behind the spate of brutal killings which sent a shockwave through the town.

They don’t know that a séance was held one dark and stormy night. A séance that went disastrously wrong. Something evil had been summoned from a dark place. For those around the table, the clock is ticking..

And for the whole town, the nightmare is just beginning.

The only clue to its real identity, and its purpose, comes in the terrifying visions of a psychic girl... .but who can believe she can see the killings before they actually happen.

It is only when the victims bodies are found impaled in steep, high places that detective Jack Fallon realises the visions are real. And that something evil, and hungry, is stalking the night.

Something that must be stopped and stopped fast.

Because Lorna Breck’s latest vision makes it clear that the beast is coming for Jack Fallon, and the people he loves most.

Together, they will have to face it... in the dark.
