Redheads have always attracted attention: desired, envied, pitied, ridiculed, even persecuted. But when the mysterious Dr Neferatu makes his appearance, the sacrifices begin...
In 1921, in the ruined city of Carthage near Tunis, a red-haired French archaeologist hears the cries of long-dead children as he stumbles upon a legendary sacrificial site. Shortly afterwards, he is viciously attacked by a hawk.
Back in present-day London, flame-haired journalist Rebecca Burns investigates strange and macabre events which seem to be directed against redheads worldwide. Together with young astrophysicist Dr Jim Cavendish and Professor Larry Burton, an authority on ancient civilisations, she is drawn into an age-old feud... a feud that threatens the existence of redheads everywhere.
