Merrily Watkins, parish priest, single mum and Deliverance consultant to the Diocese of Hereford, heads for the Malvern Hills in the latest installment of Phil Rickman’s acclaimed series of ‘first class thrillers with a difference’ (“The Guardian”). In 1934, the dying composer Edward Elgar feebly whistled to a friend the theme from his Cello Concerto and said, ‘If ever you’re walking on the Malvern Hills and hear that, don’t be frightened.

And as the local choral society prepares to stage an open-air performance of Elgar’s Caractacus on the Iron Age hillfort known as British Camp, the deaths begin…

Fabric of Sin (2007) book 9 in the Merrily Watkins series Length 15hrs 05mins
Called in secretly to investigate an allegedly haunted house with royal connections, Merrily Watkins, Deliverance Consultant for the Diocese of Hereford, is exposed to a real and tangible evil. A hidden valley on the border of England and Wales preserves a long-time feud between two old border families and an ancient Templar church with a secret that may be linked to a famous ghost story by M R James. On her own and under pressure, with the nights drawing in, the hesitant Merrily has never been less sure of her ground. Meanwhile, her closest friend, songwriter Lol Robinson, is drawn into the history of his biggest musical influence, the tragic Nick Drake.
