She starts a new life as Probationary Police Constable Skandi Khan in rural Dorset. Her new neighbours are hapless IT operative James, thrusting and charmless Financial Executive Roger, and prickly Human Resources Manager Stephanie. Shortly to be joined by soul-eating sea-demon Sireen. There are posh people. Lots of posh people. And possibly witches. Cue murder, mayhem, marriages, deaths and births. Will anyone win through to happy ever after? The Spirit Of The Age by David Melville Edwards
