Book Description
Three chilling mysteries in which a British police consultant must untangle cases involving faith, fear, and forensics . . . Dr. Alex Ripley, a skeptic of the supernatural and a believer in science, is nicknamed the Miracle Detective, brought in by the police for her insight on the strangest and most stubborn cases. This riveting collection includes the first three mysteries in the popular series: The Cuckoo Wood A spate of suicides—and stories of angel sightings—lead Ripley into the dark underbelly of an isolated English village filled with suspicion. There she must ascertain whether the locals are hallucinating or if something more sinister is leading these teenage girls to their deaths. A Hollow Sky On Holy Island, off the coast of North Wales, Ripley investigates a reputed faith healer on behalf of a grieving husband . . . On Stony Ground A note written in Latin left next to a priest’s body, followed by more murders with religious overtones, spurs Ripley to unite with a forensic investigator to hunt a killer—while also caring for her traumatized husband who’s just returned from Afghanistan . . .
