The Death Pit

Scholar Terry Williams arrives at Babcock Castle in Inverness, Scotland, with one goal in mind: to finish her research on Catherine McCullough, a seventeenth-century woman accused of congress with the devil and burned at the stake as a witch during Scotland's notorious witch trials. When Terry arrives, however, she discovers a town obsessed with a more recent death: the dismembered body of Donna Fairweather, a beautiful young woman, has been found on a farm near Babcock. When she hears rumours that Donna was part of a Wiccan coven, only Terry sees the grim connection to Catherine's death almost three hundred years earlier. As Terry continues her work, she discovers a town filled with secrets and lies, and a truth that is buried in Catherine's yellowed letters and in the mysterious Book of Shadows, Only Terry understands the dimensions of the crimes that have occurred and, unless the puzzle is unraveled in time, will soon be repeated.
