There’s
something rotten in the basement of Niedermayer & Hart Fine Porcelain,
which photographer Jim Latimer discovers to his peril. Jim has been commissioned by the company to
photograph their collection for an upcoming catalogue, but he soon realises
that there is something very wrong with his employers, and it isn’t long before
he finds himself fighting to save his very soul.
Hugh
Apsley, once a Knight Templar, has a very strange tale to relate to Brother
Anselm of the Abbey of Valle Crucis in a letter dated 1202. It is a disturbing
story which shakes the very foundation of their religion and transcends the
boundaries of death.
The
lives of Jim and Hugh are inextricably linked together and via their individual
narratives the story begins to unfold and converge.
This
independent novel was very enjoyable to read.
The quality of the writing is very good, and the structure of the story
intriguing. On one hand we read about
the young Hugh Apsley and the horrors he tries to make sense of in a
superstitious world, and on the other hand we are transported to the 20th
Century involved in a detective story that tries to make sense of what the modern world cannot explain away.
If
you like a touch of horror with some solid foundation then you won’t go far
wrong with this novel.
