What started out for Professor Bradley Davison as a long-awaited anniversary celebration with friends and family at Exnard Hall in England was something he had dreamed about for years. His wife Libby, and his five children and grandchildren agreed to stay in England for much-deserved vacations and all seemed idyllic and perfect. But when an old friend, Chief Inspector Clive Horvath of Scotland Yard calls Brad, he informs him of a small village in Kent where every resident had suddenly and mysteriously died in one evening—Midsummer Eve. Agreeing to once more assist the London Police, Brad along with Chief Mag Goldman of the NYPD Homicide Division and Lieutenant Jimmy Cassini of the ‘flying squad,’ find themselves involved in one of the strangest investigations in the annals of Scotland Yard. Ultimately, the investigation leads to the highest echelons of power and influence in the United Kingdom and Brad and his friends must discover what links together over sixty murders. In The Cauldron, the twentieth-eighth Bradley Davison mystery, he must put together many different clues and examine a great deal of evidence to come up with the solution to the crimes—before anyone else is murdered by a homicidal maniac who will stop at nothing to acquire wealth and power.
