The Nephilim Ritual

“Everything is significant.” Someone is killing high ranking police officers… It begins with the death of Acting DI Reya Alistair whilst she’s seconded to the Immigration Service, investigating People Trafficking in Willow Rock. Her body is found in an abandoned train tunnel, beside a magic circle. Is a Black Magician trying to call down an Angel to create a Nephilim? DI Bell is doubtful, but the man from the Ministry of Defence is not looking forward to meeting his first Angel. I grew up on Hammer Horror films on a Friday night and cheap science-fiction novels. During the long summer holiday between O levels and A levels, I spent the days in the city central library and explored the world of the occult. Modern fiction, focussed on the thriller, seems to be returning to “the gothic” What if Dennis Wheatley and Andy McNab collaborated on a novel? Perhaps, I am trying to update the Dennis Wheatley novel. Wheatley’s stories followed several heroes, but in each series, there was an occult story. These are the ones we remember. “The Nephilim were on the earth in those days – and also afterwards – when the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.” Genesis 6:4 (Gideon’s International Edition)
