'Moves like an express train - very fine work indeed'
STEPHEN KING
Wealthy, middle-aged women in an exclusive Connecticut suburb are dying, one by one, and their murderer remains at large. Nora Chancel, wife of publishing scion Davey Chancel, fears she may be next. After all, her past has branded her a victim.
Then Davey tells Nora a surreal story about the Hellfire Club, where years before he met an obsessed fan of Chancel House's most successful book, Night Journey - a book that has a strange history of its own.
Suddenly terror engulfs Nora: she must defend herself against fantastic accusations even as a madman lies in wait.
The Hellfire Club is a nerve-jangling thriller of astonishing pace, featuring one of the most hypnotic killers ever created.
