His ability to control minds has served him well indeed over the years, so well that his very name chills the blood of those who believe. Many thought him dead following a fiery attempt to destroy him. But magic such ashis is not easily destroyed. He has survived, scarred and deformed, but as powerful and vicious as ever. Now, with the aid of the dark forces at his command, he has set in motion a terrifying plan that will extend his control to unheard of lenghts. Will anyone - or anything - be able to stop him, or will this be the beginning of a reign of unspeakable horror?

Crippled, unable to move, Margal moves you instead, speaks to your mind, commands you to act. There are no doors you can lock to keep The Evil out, no barriers he cannot breach. He calls to those he needs, and they must obey, just as you must obey. The Evil will not be denied!

DI Mark Tartaglia investigates the murder of a bestselling novelist in the third novel in Elena Forbes’ bestselling mystery series. Bestselling novelist Joe Logan walks out into a hot summer’s evening in central London. The next day his body is found dumped in a disused Victorian crypt at the Brompton Cemetery. He has been tied up, shot, and castrated. The killing has the hallmarks of a professional hit. But what had Logan done to deserve such a brutal end? Detective Mark Tartaglia is convinced that Logan’s personal life holds the key, but unravelling the victim's recent past proves difficult. Then the body of a second man is found in an old boathouse on the Thames — killed in an identical fashion to Logan. A vicious and methodical killer is at work, but what does he want and how does he lure his victims to their death? If Tartaglia can find the link between the two dead men maybe he can find the killer before he strikes again.

The Tragedy of Almightiness encircles the theme of human yearning for omnipotence, as expressed in religion and various ideologies. The central question revolves around the matter of what--in pursuing such an extreme power of the will--man seeks to achieve. While exploring the question, a thought-provoking link is made between religion and atheism; between the Biblical longing for God's promise and the Marxist appeal for man to realize that same promise. Omnipotence must vouch for the fulfilling of the promise, for justice and for man's dream of redemption. However that is not where it ends. The longing for salvation turns out to have a dangerous reverse side to it because it encourages a turning away from the actual world and the all-pervading evil. Omnipotence also facilitates the avenging of such evil. History has shown what this kind of yearning can lead to. The book demonstrates how modernity translates Biblical longings into ideologically justified revengefulness. The description of this process leads to a plea for renewed ethical purpose in life. It is a challenge that also extends to religion. Hence the reason that it is necessary to depart from the idea of omnipotence.
