Detective Kat Ballantyne The Fallen Angel, Book 7, (Paperback)

<p><b>A ritualistic murder. Sacred ground. Powerful enemies. DS Ballantyne's trials are only just starting.</b></p><p>Christopher Piper, Middlehampton Cathedral's fiery artist in residence, is found crucified at the altar, a bloody message daubed at his feet.</p><p>DS Kat Ballantyne knows this will be no ordinary case. The killer's message was deliberate. The staging was precise. Who hated Christopher enough to desecrate this holy place?</p><p>The cathedral is preparing for its 500-year celebrations. Church leaders want the crime scene cleared and the scandal contained. Her own superiors demand results. But someone wants the truth buried.</p><p>Teaming up with brilliant, quirky forensic specialist Dr Hannah Fellowes, Kat begins to unravel a tangled web of religious symbolism, church politics, corruption and human weakness. As powerful forces close ranks, the investigation becomes a race against time.</p><p>An invitation to join a powerful group offers hope. What she discovers there shakes Kat's faith in who she can trust--and who she should suspect. Because in a cathedral of lies, even the most sacred truths can be deadly.</p>
