LOCH OF THE DEAD (FREY & MCGREY 4)

Inspectors Frey and McGray return in a Jonathan Creek-style mystery set in Victorian Scotland. The illegitimate scion of the Koloman family has received an anonymous death threat, right after learning he is to inherit the best part of a vast wine-producing estate. His mother pleads for the inspectors’ protection, and offers in exchange a cure for McGray’s insane, homicidal sister: the miraculous waters that spring in a small island in the remote Loch Maree, a sacred burial ground since the time of the druids.
