A Mask of Shadows

Frey & McGray Book 3




The third novel in Oscar de Muriel's spectacular historical crime series, featuring sleuthing pair Frey & McGray

Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook of A Mask of Shadows by Oscar de Muriel, read by Andy Secombe.

Idols of the theatre Henry Irving and Ellen Terry are preparing to stage Macbeth in Edinburgh. But long before the actors hit the boards the play-house is hit with horror; the piercing, desolate wail of a banshee and a bloody message smeared on the street.

Legendary Detective 'Nine-Nails' McGray and disgraced London sceptic Inspector Ian Frey are to investigate. While McGray flicks through tattered tomes on the supernatural, Frey is convinced the whole thing is just a publicity stunt.

But as the gory messages keep coming one thing is sure; whether by human hand or not, death is coming.

Praise for Oscar de Muriel

-

Fun to read and a fast page-turner . . . love and murder - they go together like strawberries and cream

Independent

A hugely entertaining Victorian mystery

The New York Times

This is wonderful. A brilliant, moving, clever, lyrical book - I loved it. Oscar de Muriel is going to be a name to watch.

Manda Scott

One of the best debuts so far this year - a brilliant mix of horror, history, and humour. Genuinely riveting with plenty of twists, this will keep you turning the pages. It's clever, occasionally frightening and superbly written ... Everything you need in a mystery thriller

Crime Review

This is a fast-paced, well-researched and thoroughly spellbinding read. The mismatched pair is as entertaining as Holmes and Watson at their best, and the supernatural element brings an entertaining twist
