About this ebook
*Features an exclusive extract from A Fever of the Blood - the brilliant new Case for Frey & McGray, which publishes in February 2016*
Christmas, 1888. After a thoroughly trying time in Edinburgh, Inspector Ian Frey looks forward to a Christmas break at his family's country estate back in England.
But the welcome respite of home cooking, hunting trips and brandy by the fire is ruined by the arrival of an unwelcome guest . . .
Praise for The Strings of Murder:
'This is wonderful. A brilliant, moving, clever, lyrical book - I loved it.'
Manda Scott
'One of the best débuts of the year. Riveting, genuinely funny, occasionally frightening and superbly written.'
