‘I enjoyed this – properly creepy and Gothic’ Ian Rankin

1889. The Scottish Play is coming home.

But before the darling couple of London theatre, Henry Irving & Ellen Terry, take their acclaimed Macbeth to the Edinburgh stage terror treads the boards.

A grisly message found smeared over the cobbles in about A Mask of Shadows: Frey & McGray Publication 3 bloodstream, foretelling someone’s demise.

As the bloody prophecies continue steadily to appear Edinburgh’s own beloved set – Detective ‘Nine-Nails’ McGray & Inspector Ian Frey – enter the scene. Frey scoffs at this blatant publicity stunt, while McGray can be confident of supernatural affairs.

As they scrutinise the key players, they find that Terry, Irving, and his peculiar, preoccupied assistant (one Bram Stoker) all have factors to wipe out, or be killed…

But a very important factor is clear. By occult curse or human hand, death will need bow the night the curtain goes up.
