LIBRARY OF THE DEAD (EDINBURGH NIGHTS)

Ropa dropped out of school to become a ghostalker - and she now speaks to Edinburgh's dead, carrying messages to the living. A girl's gotta earn a living, and it seems harmless enough. Until, that is, the dead whisper that someone's bewitching children - leaving them husks, empty of joy and life. It's on Ropa's patch, so she feels honour bound to investigate. But what she learns will change her world. She'll dice with death as she calls on Zimbabwean magic and Scottish pragmatism to hunt down clues. Yet as shadows lengthen, will the hunter become the hunted?
