The Yellow Holly  (Paperback, Fergus Hume)

On the night of the Winter Solstice, a golden sprig of holly is found pinned to the body of a murdered solicitor. No fingerprints. No motive. Only that strange botanical clue and a riddle left at the scene. As London reels from the gruesome killing, Detective Colin Dane is brought in to solve the mystery. But every time he uncovers a new lead, a second sprig of yellow holly appears... followed by another corpse. From secret meetings in candlelit churches to underground tunnels beneath the city, the killer's trail is as twisted as it is chilling. The Yellow Holly is a suspense-filled tale of ritual murder, coded clues, and a madman's mission to "cleanse" the sins of the past. Fergus Hume weaves a chilling story that fuses mystery with myth, questioning whether evil is inherited-or chosen. The holly is yellow. The warning is clear. Who will be next?
