"I always wanted to be a writer, but I became a policeman instead."
WESSEX, 2016. Teenagers are vanishing off the council estates of a
small provincial city. A crop of herbs that are said to posses
magical powers which only grow once every fifty years are found in
the woods. A supernatural creature believed to be the guardian of
the herbs is seen in nightmares. Rumours of orgiastic rituals on
the estates of the rich and powerful excite the curious. And the
Queen of England decides to celebrate her 90th birthday with a
visit to the city's famous cathedral spire. Into this madness, two
ambitious detectives, one with doomed literary ambitions, seek to
solve the mystery, their only lead that "posh people are taking our
children". Blending mysticism, class war, societal malfeasance and
transcendence, High John The Conqueror identifies the point in our
recent history when the ghosts of our past become the political
monsters of the present.
