Killer Magic by Linda Berry

When Chief Sidney Becker arrives at a crime scene on the lakeshore of her small town, she’s confronted with one of the most spine chilling murders she’s ever witnessed. The man’s nude body is inscribed with mysterious symbols, and strange tokens are buried nearby in the sand. The investigation takes Sidney into the world of magical practices and beliefs. Her suspects include witches, illusionists, psychics, and magicians. Their familiarity with the symbols from the crime scene send a ripple of fear through the occult community. Many are convinced that a demonic warlock is on the loose. Sidney has little patience for beliefs in magic spells and demons. But she can’t deny that something sinister and eerie is afoot in Linnly County—and it’s waiting to strike again.
