McLean is convinced that these deaths are somehow connected to the terrible ceremonial killing of the girl, all those years ago. It is an irrational, almost supernatural theory. And one which will lead McLean closer to the heart of a terrifying and ancient evil...Natural Causes is the opening to an electrifying series, for fans of Ian Rankin, Peter James and Stuart McBride.
