The Darker Arts - A Frey & McGray Mystery

Zusatztext A new twist on the traditional locked-room puzzle...without a doubt de Muriel's best. It's a hugely entertaining Victorian mystery, a properly creepy and Gothic mix of horror, history and humour, and has everything you need to keep you turning pages...Gothically over the top and gloriously preposterous, but hugely enjoyable, entertaining and well-written Informationen zum Autor Oscar de Muriel was born in Mexico City where he began writing stories aged seven, and later came to the UK to complete a PhD in Chemistry. Whilst working as a translator and playing the violin, the idea for a spooky whodunnit series came to him and Nine-Nails McGray was born. Oscar has now written four Frey and McGray titles and splits his time between Manchester and Mexico City. Klappentext "Madame Katerina, Detective 'Nine Nails' McGray's most trusted clairvoyant, hosts a sâeance for three of Edinburgh's wealthiest families. The following morning everyone is found dead, with Madame Katerina being the only survivor. When questioned she alleges a tormented spirit killed the families for revenge. McGray, even though he believes her, must find a rational explanation that holds up in court, else Katerina will be sentenced to death"--Publisher description.
