In the heart of Victorian Edinburgh, as the acclaimed Macbeth prepares to grace the stage, a sinister atmosphere envelops the city. A gruesome message, written in blood, hints at impending doom. As more bloody prophecies emerge, Detective 'Nine-Nails' McGray and Inspector Ian Frey are called to investigate. Frey dismisses the foreboding signs as mere publicity stunts, while McGray suspects supernatural forces at play. Their inquiry reveals that key figures, including the celebrated actors Ellen Terry and Henry Irving, along with Irving's enigmatic assistant Bram Stoker, all harbor motives for murder or fear for their lives. As the tension builds, it becomes evident that death will make its presence known on opening night, whether through dark magic or human malice. Praise for the Frey & McGray series highlights its engaging blend of horror, history, and humor, with critics calling it a fast-paced, clever, and riveting read. The dynamic duo's chemistry is likened to that of Holmes and Watson, making this mystery thriller a captivating page-turner filled with twists and excitement.
