Summary
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...

Fabulous
I absolutely love this series. Witty, fast paced and quite mad. The narration is beyond excellent.

Excellent Read
Brilliant, couldn’t stop until I finished the book - edge of the seat stuff. Utterly engrossing and captivating from start to finish

Another anarchic trip through Victorian Britain
As with the previous Frey and McGray outings this was a thoroughly enjoyable historical romp. Fantastic to have them back and as such I devoured this recording at great speed.
I don’t feel that the premise for the story was as strong as previous adventures and at times even the amazing narration Andy Secombe was a little off. But I’m splitting hairs. It was great fun and I hope there are more to come.

A story you just want to believe, with amazing characters!
I have read all the books in this series so far, and this is one of my favourites by far!
Oscar de Muriel has outdone himself with this book!
The plot is outstanding, the characters are lovable and consistent with storylines you just want to be true!
I can honestly say if you are looking for a story with an excellent plot as well as being read by someone who can without fail Bring every character to life; then this is the book that you have been looking for.
