The brutal slaying of a violinist in his home in 1888 sparks a locked room murder mystery investigated by two diametrically opposed Edinburgh detectives.

1888: a violinist is brutally murdered inÂ his Edinburgh home. Fearing a national panic over a copycat Jack the Ripper,Â Scotland Yard send Inspector IanÂ Frey. Frey reports to Detective "Nine-Nails"Â McGray, local legend and exact oppositeÂ of the foppish English Inspector.Â McGrayâ€™s tragic past has driven himÂ to superstition, but even Frey must admitÂ that this case seems beyond belief...

There was no way in or out of the locked music studio. And there are black magic symbols on the floor. The dead manâ€™s maid swears there wereÂ three musiciansÂ playing before the murder. And the suspects all talk of aÂ cursed violin once played by theÂ Devil himself.
Inspector Frey has always been a man of reasonâ€”but the longer this investigation goes on, the more his grasp on reason seems to be slipping...
