    About this audiobook

    The prize-winning author of Edinburgh Twilight returns to the darkening shadows of nineteenth-century Scotland to track a killer on a profane mission of revenge.

    A wicked Scottish winter has just begun when pioneering female physician Sophia Jex-Blake calls on Detective Inspector Ian Hamilton to investigate the suspicious death of one of her patients—a railroad lineman who she believes succumbed to the horrific effects of arsenic poisoning. The most provocative aspect of the case doesn’t escape Hamilton: the married victim’s numerous sexual transgressions.

    Now, for the first time since the unexplained fire that killed his parents, Hamilton enters the Royal Infirmary to gain the insights of brilliant medical student Arthur Conan Doyle. Then a second poisoning occurs—this time, a prominent banker who died in the bed of a prostitute. It appears that someone is making Edinburgh’s more promiscuous citizens pay for their sins.

    As the body count rises and public panic takes hold, Hamilton and Doyle delve into the seedy underbelly of the city, where nothing is as it seems, no one is immune to murder, and even trusted friends can be enemies in disguise.

    • 4/5
      A good read and interesting story
    • 1/5
      The end of the book is missing, so you never find out what happened. VERY FRUSTRATING
    • 5/5
      Loved this audiobook - just like its prececessor. It took me a few minutes to adjust to the different narrator, but from then on it was pure pleasure. I especially enjoyed all the alliteration in this telling. I was sorry to come to the end of the recording and look forward to the last installment of DI Ian Hamilton - please let there be more installments!!
    • 3/5
      Incomplete recording!! The story is not finished where the recording stops!
    • 4/5
      In Edinburgh Dr. Sophia Jex-Blake wants Detective Inspector Ian Hamilton to investigate the death of the husband of one of her patients. During the case he meets Dr Bell and Conan Doyle whos knowledge of medical matters helps his case. But then another victim is discovered.
      The characters are well-drawn and fleshed out. I found this well-written story enjoyable and interesting and look forward to the next in the series.
      This second in the series is easily read as a standalone story

      Unable to finish this. Detrimental dialogue, empty characters. The setting of Edinburgh couldn't save this one for me.
