THE DANCE OF THE SERPENTS - OSCAR DE MURIEL TAS...

'Properly creepy and Gothic' IAN RANKIN on the Frey & McGray mysteries...    December  1889.  
There have been many bad days in Edinburgh police's secret subdivision 'The Commission for the
Elucidation of Unsolved Cases Presumably Related to the Odd and Ghostly'.   But today is surely
the worst.  Because the exiled English Inspector Ian Frey  and his Scottish boss 'Nine-Nails'
McGray are summoned to a meeting in the middle of the night with the Prime Minister himself. 
And he tells them that Queen Victoria - the most powerful person in the world - wants them both
dead.  To be pardoned they must embark on a mission so dangerous that they might be saving Her
Majesty the job of executing them. Because this case ties together the dark history of the
Pendle witches  with the tragic case of McGray own sister  to a conspiracy within the highest
office in the land...  * * * * * * *   Praise for the Frey & McGray mysteries:   'A hugely
entertaining Victorian mystery' New York Times   'A fun to read fast page-turner' Independent 
'A brilliant mix of horror  history  and humour. Genuinely riveting with plenty of twists  this
will keep you turning the pages. It's clever  occasionally frightening and superbly written ...
Everything you need in a mystery thriller' Crime Review   'It's official: I am addicted to Frey
and McGray' Christopher Fowler  author of the BRYANT & MAY series
