When construction workers uncover a mummified corpse beneath the floor of an abandoned church in rural Surrey, the grisly discovery sends ripples through the village-and flags a case for Scotland Yard's elite Scientific Investigation Unit.
The body, wrapped in burlap and plastic, has been entombed for nearly a decade. Scripture stuffed into the woman's mouth brands her a modern-day Jezebel, but the ritualistic burial raises more questions than answers.
DCI Marcus Redfern, DCI Thomas Calder, and forensic psychiatrist Dr. Charlie Morrow are dispatched to unravel the mystery. But as they dig into the chapel's history-and the psychological terrain of the spiritual group that occupied it-they uncover whispers of cultic fervor, missing girls, and sins sanctified in silence.
Each step closer to the truth threatens to upend what they know about justice, faith, and the shadows that thrive in holy places. And when the dead start speaking in her psychic visions, even Charlie's steady resolve begins to crack.
Dark Psalms is a gripping, atmospheric thriller that blends forensic investigation with psychological depth and gothic unease. Fans of Broadchurch, The Fall, and Tana French will devour this haunting installment in the Cold Bones Chronicles.
