Hello and welcome to damppebbles. It’s Monday 1st February so you know what that means….? No, me neither. New month? New week? More lockdown? One thing I do know is that the brilliant The Devil’s Mark by W.D. Jackson-Smart is published by Panther Publishing today.

If you’re looking for a brilliant new crime series to read then this is it! Read on to find out more…

“Bloody remains. Multiple victims. Ritual sacrifice?

When a blood-stained effigy of body parts is found in a central London park, D.I Daniel Graves must set about trying to discover what it could mean and find the person responsible. Symbols at the crime scene suggest the occult. Who would leave a murder victim in such a way, and why?

As Graves and partner DI Charlie Palmer begin to investigate the ritual and the act of human sacrifice, they enlist the help of Charlotte Gooding, a talented professor specialising in the subject. They hope to narrow down on a motive. Could the killer believe in the supernatural? Witchcraft even?

Then the next crime scene is found. More blood, more symbols, and out in the open. It seems the killer wants the world to pay attention, but why? How are they choosing their victims?

The pressure is on for Graves to put an end to the murders before more remains show up in brutal tableaus. One thing is for sure, this killer is out for blood and is not afraid to make it a very public display.

There’s just one problem. Grave’s past is still not behind him. Someone is eager to make sure he doesn’t forget, cannot move on. And they’re not playing games anymore. There may be an occult killer out there, but now there’s another out for blood, Daniel Grave’s blood.”

Sounds A-MAZ-ING! And look out for The Devil’s Mark #damppebblesblogtour starting one month from today on Monday 1st March!
