Exorcism is a word no longer favored by the Church of England. Nowadays "delivery ministry" is the preferred term for dealing with satanic possession and paranormal disturbance.
When offered the post once called "diocesan exorcist", the Rev Merrily Watkins cannot easily refuse, having suffered uncanny experiences of her own. But the eldery retiring exorcist - who strongly objects to women entering the preisthood - refuses to help Merrily, and ensures she's soon exposed to the job at it's most terrifying and distasteful. As an early winter cuts through the old city of Hereford, a body is found in the freezing River Wye, an ancient church is desecrated, and there are signs of dark ritual on a hill overlooking the town. Meanwhile reports of psychic unrest in the cathedral itself suggest an undying evil many centuries old.
