Season Of The Witch eBook

Mostert's award-winning novel blends alchemy, art of memory and murder into a highly original thriller. Gabriel Blackstone is a cool, hip, thoroughly twenty-first-century Londoner with an unusual talent. A computer hacker by trade, he is - -by inclination - a remote viewer, someone whose unique gifts enable him to 'slam rides' through the thought processes of others. But reading people's minds is something he does only with the greatest reluctance - until he is contacted by an ex-lover who begs him to use his gift to find her stepson, last seen months earlier at a mysterious house, in the company of two sisters. As the dog days of summer turn into a cold and hostile winter, Gabriel becomes increasingly bewitched by the house, and by its owners, the beautiful, enigmatic Monk sisters - one of whom is a killer, who will stop at nothing to protect a terrifying secret as old as time itself.
