Edinburgh Police's secretive unit, the Suspected Supernatural Cold Case Unit, has had its bad days. But today is by far the worst.

After all, they killed the mediums dear to her heart... To earn pardon, Frey and McGray will have to go on a mission tantamount to a death sentence. And at the same time find out what secret is really hidden in the palace. An exciting Victorian detective story with a duet of charismatic and damn charming detectives.
