Then there's mayhem in a butcher's shop, with a grim warning written on the walls in blood: just beginning. . . While the little Welsh community of Raven's Hill is reeling in the face of these horrors, a succession of local clergymen are brutally murdered and it looks like there's an eerie pattern to their shocking deaths.
