Details: Once again, Roderick Alleyn is on the case of a killer who plucked the life from the newest initiate of The House of the Sacred Flame, just as she was about to drink the sacrificial wine, being as it was laced with cyanide. In investigating her death he finds the High Priest & his followers are more enmeshed is the earthly passions of lust & jealousy than they would like to imagine.
