The Lilith Charm

Lilith, the first wife of Adam, is a figure Reverend Penny Green had never heard of. But when her grandfather is accused of murdering a sixteen-year-old girl in a botched exorcism, Penny learns about this she-demon; and her legend.Penny, an Anglican Minister struggling in a conservative and somewhat misogynistic parish, is assisted by progressive Rabbi Simon Cohen in uncovering what really happened to the murdered girl. In return, she helps the Rabbi look into an apparent suicide by a member of the Rabbi’s synagogue.Simon and Penny have come together after eight years of mutual silence. The last time they communicated, Simon professed his love and Penny had gently, but effectively, rejected him. The Lilith Charm focuses on the rekindling of their friendship and the feelings that Simon still has for Penny.The only clue these devoted servants of their respective faiths have to try and solve the deaths is a tattoo and a symbol, known as the Lilith Charm, found on the deceased. The symbol leads them into a complex maze of Jewish and Christian symbolism and mythology that links the two murders.
