Innocent Dead: An absolutely riveting crime thriller that will keep you guessing until the end (A Dr Harrison Lane Mystery Book 4) Kindle Edition

by Gwyn Bennett (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 97 ratings

The curtains were closed and incense burned in a pottery jug. Brightly coloured cloth was draped over pictures on the wall. Out of a bag spilled stones, teeth, bones. Beside them were jars of herbs and ground powders. Was the person who lived here an innocent victim… or a killer?

Harrison Lane, Head of the Ritualistic Behavioural Crime unit, is called to investigate the brutal assault of an African healer. The two attackers are normally law-abiding parishioners from the nearby Catholic church. Behind bars, the men claim they were acting in self-defence after the man used 'voodoo magic' to curse their church, sending a wave of sudden deaths and sickness through the panicked congregation.

While items like bones, ritual figures, robes and an altar are found at the healer's home, Harrison is convinced they’re not seeing the whole picture. But as more fall desperately sick, he’s running out of time to find out who – or what – is killing the parishioners.

Why was the first victim’s body cremated before testing could be carried out? It’s clear to Harrison that there’s a killer in their midst, picking them off one by one then destroying the evidence. Is it a voodoo practitioner, or something far more evil much closer to home?

Innocent Dead is a gripping police procedural with twists and turns you won’t see coming, perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, LJ Ross and Matt Brolly.

This book was previously published under the title Holy Man by Gwyn GB.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Gripping read!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 18, 2023
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Like the other Harrison lane books, thus was well written and gripping throughout. You learn more about Harrison with each book. I really like the way Harrison pucks up on the smallest of details and can use that to crack the case.

    The only issue I had with this book was the implication that 'Heavy metal music' and 'Satanic rituals' go hand in hand, it's quite a harmful stereotype which should have been left in the 80's.

    Other than that I think the book (and series) is a brilliant read, it certainly is hard to put down, and the second I finish one, I have to start the next!

    Dr Harrison Lane once again is involved in a complex situation that only he can interpret. GB continues to write innovative novels. Dr Lane is a wonderfully crafted character with his beyond the norm interpretive skills & fascinating back story.
