A tale of politics, perversion, deception and mystery, 'The Shadow of the Serpent' leads the reader down a tangled Victorian labyrinth of Edinburgh wynds and will thrill contemporary nerve-ends. 1880, Edinburgh: Election fever grips the city. But while the rich and educated argue about politics, in the dank wynds of the docks it's a struggle just to stay alive. When a prostitute is brutally murdered, disturbing memories from thirty years ago are stirred in Inspector McLevy, who is soon lured into a murky world of politics, perversion and deception - and the shadow of the serpent.
