DS Chrissie. Dewar is looking for her missing sister, Marian, a tour guide in the tombs, which are inhabited by the ghost of the Black Friar from eight hundred years ago. But there seems to be a killer roaming the streets of Edinburgh. Then there is sex-trafficker Tam Mackinnon to deal with.
An enjoyable modern gothic murder mystery

A good read

Reminded me of early James Herbert books at the start, then came into a life of its own. Good sense of humour and a very good story; well done.
