Hell is empty, and all the devils are here…
While filming a school project inside a ruined church, three teenagers make a horrific discovery: a severed head, left as part of a demonic ritual.
Before they can call the police, they are brutally attacked—and one of the teenagers is taken.
DCI Kett and the Extreme Crime Task Force know it’s only a matter of time before the missing girl meets a terrifying fate. But as they hunt for her they find themselves caught up in one of the most dangerous cases of their careers—a living nightmare of conspiracy, sacrifice and cold-blooded murder.
Kett must explore the darkest parts of the country, the human soul, and himself to get to the heart of this unholy mystery.
But how can he catch a killer who might be the Devil himself?
The sixteenth instalment in the million-selling DCI Kett series is the most ferocious, frightening and darkly funny yet. Relentless action, compulsive mystery and dark humour abound in the series that Thrilling Fiction calls “Heart-stoppingly gripping!” from the author that James Patterson describes as “fresh and ferocious!

Alex Smith wrote his first book when he was six. It wasn’t particularly good, but it did have some supernatural monsters in it. His latest books, the DCI Robert Kett thrillers, have monsters in them too, although these monsters are very human, and all the more terrifying for it. In between, he has published fourteen novels for children and teenagers under his full name, Alexander Gordon Smith—including the number one bestselling series Escape From Furnace, which is loved by millions of readers worldwide and which is soon to become a motion picture. He lives in Norwich with his wife and three young daughters.

I started reading this book as soon as it arrived on my kindle. That was around midnight and to start with I thought, mmm, maybe I should read this in the day time. But, as with every book in this absolutely brilliant series, I kept reading. And, oh my goodness, what a read. Quite scary in places and I don’t read horror stories at all. But Alex’s writing is just sublime, I was able to enjoy the plot without hiding behind my pillow too much. Very difficult thing to do when reading and not watching!! I could not work out how on earth it was all going to come together but it did. The book ended in quite a shocker and you really need to have read previous books in this series for it to make sense. The camaraderie between the team had me in fits of laughter one minute then actually fraught with worry for certain members of the team next.I implore anyone new to this series to start with book one, ‘The Paper Girls’. You then have a further 15 books to thoroughly enjoy. I am now having a long wait for book 17. Therefore, I will, myself, start with book 1 and try to slow my reading speed down and enjoy getting to know Robbie Kett and the rest of the gang from the very beginning – what joy. Bravo Alex, you’ve done it again!

Thereâs One Big Problem With This Book, & that is that itâs just TOO good!I donât know how the authors going to follow this up with the next book & surpass what his ever growing list of fanatical fans are going to be clamoring for!Itâs not often I stay up until 3am reading, then start reading again the instant I wake up until Iâve finished a book, but this did it for me, the only quicker way would of been an audiobook version playing while I slept, but considering the subject matter of this book, âreadingâ it via osmosis while I was asleep could of had dire consequences!If your already a fan of these books, your going to be thrilled to see this has just shy of 500pages & all your favorite family members are present & ready for duty, well mostly, except for Duke, Pete, Robbie & pretty much everyone else, even the big (pantless) kahuna himself Clare seems to be having issues, but Savage is always going to save the day, after all, thatâs what we women are best at!If youâve never read these books before, lucky you! Because you now have 16 books to fall in love with, laugh your head off over, & be guesstimating your little touché away into the early hours, think 3am, as a starting point of getting any sleep! You MUST read them in order, to not do so would be to lose all the backstories & the character development, which besides ruining the books, would be an awful waste of these characters time making sure the author got it all bloody well right!This is a 13 ************* out of 10.

What is there to say but sheer genius! Totally different from previous books but with the fabulous DCI Robbie Kett and his wonderful team. Such a deep moving novel with demons and rituals a plenty. Hilariously funny with some extremely laugh out moments which were such a relief from the tension. I find Alex’s books so entertaining and every one a worthy 5 stars. Can’t wait for book 17. Thank you Alex, Barbara x

As always, Alex Smith manages to build up suspense to the point where you just can’t put the book down….even when dinner is burning up, the kettle boiling over and you should have driven to do some urgent last-minute-shopping ages ago.Read it! Read them all.What I like best, is that we get to know the personal history, relationships and trouble- physical and otherwise. What I don’t like is, that the female officers are painted as highly intelligent, knowing every last bit there is to know, while the male ones are either slightly naïve, big tanks with nothing but strength and looks , slightly confused, elderly superiours or nice but clumsy. Please stop the feminist bullshit!Other than that…I love these stories and Alex Smith has a way wirh words I really like. Captures me everytime.

Great Read
DCI Kett and the gang are back in another chilling suspenseful, harrowing mystery. Love the plot and the irreverent humor.

TOO Creepy and Clare is getting SO tiresome
This book leans too much to the horror story line.Mr. Smithâs books always have a hard edge to them but this one crossed the line and made it hard to concentrate on the story.Clareâs treatment of his team has built over the series and is to the point that his actions make me wonder if that entire law enforcement organization is just plain incompetent for allowing him to continue – and why anyone would work for him (he has too few redeeming qualities to the point he is just a nasty character). I end up skipping many paragraphs where he is key; prior books in this series that was not the case but he has become SO tiresome the story plods when he is up to his cruel antics. Itâs one thing if those outside the Unit cast dispersions on the team but when their âbossâ does so, how can they keep doing the very tough job that Mr Smith lays out for them in his storyline?I suggest skipping this one unless you are a fan of Horror and/or like seeing the other characters in the story continuing to be beat down.

Fantastic
Adding a touch of horror to the already wonderful world of DCI Kett and team? YES PLEASE. Such a great read, non-stop action, mystery, and straight out laughter at times. Clare has very solidly become one of my very favorite characters; I think we need to get him and Bob Hoon together soonâ¦.

Fantastic!
This story is my favorite of the whole series. It left me breathless. The plot is awesome and keep me guessing. I was a little scared through a good portion of the book. It was a total thrill ride. The chemistry between the characters is great. They work well together. Sometimes, they make me laugh. No spoilers, but there’s a scene where I laughed so hard, tears were running down my face. I highly recommend this whole series.

Amazing!
I was hooked from page 1! Found this on my Kindle Unlimited, and thought I would give it a try.Now I have to go back, to book one, and read them all! If youâre a fan of mystery, the paranormal, this is the book for you!
Kindle Customer –
Mostly good
I’m not a fan of horror. And there was bound to be explanation for those aspects. However, for me the story really dragged in the middle because of the occult stuff. The story really picked up and became the interesting and well written Kett novel that is so satisfying.

Devils and Witches Battle for Souls
Alex Smith is a superb writer of all things scary and things that bump in the night. DCI Kett and crew are battling this evil throughout the series. Best books out there for horror. Thank you for another great book to read late at night. Alex, I ordered your sisters book on your recommendation. Awaiting book 17 in December.

Monsters are real but maybe not witches and demons
This book was amazing and full of action. Kett is doubting his own sanity and seeing signs everywhere. The plot really takes twists and turns before finally concluding with a âfamilyâ get together and a hint of whatâs going to be in the next book. This doesnât dwell much on the characters so if you havenât read the earlier books, I would suggest you go back.
