DI Jack Caffery, il protagonista dei romanzi di successo di Mo Hayder, è tornato. Assegnato da Londra a Bristol, Caffery cerca di lasciarsi alle spalle la sua vita personale, ma non può sfuggire ai ricordi dell'omicidio di suo fratello minore e del sospetto che è rimasto impunito. Quando il sergente di polizia Phoebe “Flea” Marley scopre una mano umana appena recisa nel porto di Bristol e l'altra sepolta sotto il portone di un ristorante, Caffery è lì per guidare l'indagine. Ma invece di trovare risposte, o un corpo che corrisponda a quelle mani, Caffery e Flea scoprono un terribile sottobosco di dipendenza da droghe, mutilazioni rituali e muti, la magia della medicina africana. Tormentato dai suoi demoni personali, Caffery cerca la compagnia dell'infame Walking Man, un ex detenuto di un carcere di massima sicurezza, che vive per strada e percorre le strade di campagna rivivendo i ricordi di un crimine terribile. Flea Marley ha i suoi fantasmi da affrontare: la morte dei suoi genitori in una grotta piena d'acqua in Sudafrica e un'associazione personale inquietante con il crimine che lei e Caffery stanno indagando. La "Regina della Paura" della Gran Bretagna ha ancora una volta dimostrato di essere una maestra del suo mestiere. Ritual è un avvincente thriller psicologico, una storia agghiacciante vista attraverso gli occhi di personaggi complessi e raccontata con una voce e uno stile magistrali.
