In the follow-up to ‘Strings of
Murder’ De Muriel delves into more spooky goings on in Edinburgh. New Year’s
Day 1889 signifies a terrible new beginning for the lunatic asylum where
Inspector Nine Nails McGray’s sister resides. A patient murders his nurse and
absconds. McGray and his reluctant partner Ian Frey are soon in hot pursuit;
hotter after McGray learns that his mute sister was heard talking with the same
patient, hours before he escaped.
McGray drags a less than enthused
Frey across the border into England, in Lancashire, where more murders take place.
During the worst blizzard in living memory with Frey now supporting McGray they
chase the killer towards the home of the Lancashire witches, the infamous Pendle
Hill.
