A dark and clever satire set in Edinburgh from the author of the highly-acclaimed The Pied Piper's Poison.

Mediocre PR consultant Charles Kidd might just have found his meal ticket. With brilliant, charming new client Peter Dexter's plans for the ultimate fringe spectacular at this year's Edinburgh Festival, it would appear that Charles finally has the chance to be somebody, to make a splash.

But in a city whose murky past is filled with graverobbers, mad, murderous scientists, charlatans and showmen, this particular image consultant would do well to look past the sheen of his new star customer, beyond a polished performance which cloaks a more sinister, manipulative purpose...

With consummate skill, Christopher Wallace weaves a tale full of invention, ambiguity, unease and menace.

Industry Reviews

A seductive novel that blends elaborate tales of bodysnatching, performance art and forbidden knowledge, crossing the timeline between Auld Reekie and modern, festival Edinburgh. Alexander Brodie is a dark force from Edinburgh's grim past, a maverick surgeon who, until his sudden disappearance, was exhausting the city's supply of cadavers for experiments towards a secret and degenerate purpose. In present-day Edinburgh several characters are drawn to a devilish impresario who is seeking to present the most exclusive show of the festival. Delving deep into the Scottish capital's dark history, this is a novel that keeps its secrets hidden until the final, destructive end. (Kirkus UK)
