As they rounded the corner of the main room they came to what had once been the dining area. Now it was a literal shrine to Baphomet. The floor of the area had been raised about 6 inches. It served as a platform upon which stood a 6-foot statue of Baphomet in the form of the same Sabbatic Goat that Kane recognized from the image on the website. The statue sat between two stone pillars. The entire scene was framed by something resembling an ornate theatrical curtain of gold and black satin.

Cromwell opened a door off to the side of the shrine. “This way,” he said.

The door led to a small room that apparently served as Cromwell’s study. Shelves of books lined two of the walls. An old office desk took up a third wall near a window and a small couch was pushed up against the remaining wall. Above the couch were three Mega Therion posters, one of them signed by Rye Cowl.

Cromwell leaned back against the desk and folded his arms. “Well?” he said with a prompting glare. “I don’t have all day. What the hell do you want?”

Ravenwood took a seat on the couch. Kane couldn’t help notice she seemed quite at ease in this bizarre environment. He, on the other hand––the detective whose career included being the driver of the lead car in one of the department’s most dangerous high-speed chases on record; who had tracked dangerous armed dope dealers down dark alleys; who, as a uniformed police officer, had been shot twice in the line of duty and lived to tell about it––that same fearless Detective Kane was about as comfortable in this house-of-the-damned as Indiana Jones in a pit of vipers. He decided to remain standing next to the door.

Ravenwood settled back into the couch. “We heard you’re a big fan of Mega Therion.” She twisted around and glanced up at the posters on the wall behind her. “Looks like we heard right.”

Cromwell smirked. “That’s a crime?”

“Of course not. We just wondered if maybe you happened to attend their last concert.”

“Yeah, I was there. So what?”

“So you probably know about the pastor who was found dead in the men’s room.”
