A Dark Intelligence Has Been Poisoning Carefully Selected Lives.
The Con Man: 'Reverend' Joe McGill claims he's a healer, but he's chosen the wrong man to con.
The Psychotic Gangster: Arthur Bewlay has cancer eating away at his face. He's in no mood to be messed around—either by fake miracle workers or his dead brother Tommy—and he'll stop at nothing in his desperate desire to live.
The Eccentric Recluse: Maryam Clemenceau is just what both McGill and Bewlay need—a real miracle worker with a bona fide gift. But it comes at a considerable cost.
The Architect: The sinister link between a Maryam's Gothic apartment block, and Bewlay's boarded up, abandoned Victorian pub—buildings that are contaminated with fear and the echoes of old and ominous power.
Baby Strange opens with Joe beaten and bound in the back of a car, on his way to an appointment with a cement pit under a Glasgow flyover . . . this is not to be the lowest point of his day.
