Dark Legion by the late British author John Glasby (ISFDB, Wikipedia, obituary at The Telegraph) is his standalone sfnal investigative mystery thriller with probable paranormal dark fantasy/horror elements set in the ominous British countryside, starring a man investigating the mysterious death of his brother at the local menhir arrangement, who may or may not have been killed as part of a superstitious ritual by the locals who are acting rather suspiciously under the influence of an external evil force or maybe just their own murderously depraved villager ways, free for a limited time courtesy of publisher Endeavour Press' Venture imprint.

This was originally published in 2009 by Ulverscroft as part of their Linford Mystery Library line.

Currently free @ Amazon (available to Canadians & in the UK and pretty much everywhere else Amazon sells worldwide, since this is being done via their KDP Select exclusive-or-else program)

Description
Near the village of Tormount, on Cranston's Hill, Malcolm Amberley had been found dead.

He was discovered in the centre of the Standing Stones, clutching the curiously ornamented hilt of a strange dagger, driven into his heart.

A curtain of evil hung over the village, a nightmare for Terence Amberley who arrived to attend his brother's funeral.

Did Malcolm commit suicide, or did some evil force still remain viable in the area, forcing him towards a mysterious death?

As Terence begins to search for answers with the help of his old village friend Clivedon Park, he begins to see a pattern develop in the locals' behaviour.

People are disappearing in great droves at night, and claim to not remember a thing about it.

But Terence believes uncovering where and why these disappearances are occurring will help him solve the mystery of his brother's death...
