Beschreibung

At the second meeting of the Tuesday Night Club, the clergyman Dr. Pender relates a case in which he participated many years ago. Within the estate of his friend Richard Haydon there was a very old forest full of archaeological treasures. It was said that bloody sacred rites had been performed in that place, right in front of a statue representing the goddess Astarte. During a meeting, Sir Richard's guests visit the site and a girl goes into a trance, while one of the men falls dead in front of everyone else. Will the members of the Club be able to solve a case that seems completely supernatural?

    Second, and most pressing, a young man has just appeared on his doorstep with a briefcase . . . containing a pair of severed hands. Miller knows this case is proof of a contract killing commissioned by local ne'er do well Wayne Cutler—a man he suspects might also be responsible for his wife's death. Now Miller has leverage, but unfortunately, he also has something that both Cutler and a villainous fast-food kingpin are desperate to get hold of.
