A Fever of the Blood by Oscar de Muriel
4.0
This is the second book in the series but I found it made no difference that I hadn't already read the first one.
An inmate escapes from an insane asylum where McCray's sister is also an inmate. One of the nurses says that the mute girl was actually see talking to Lord Ardglass before he escaped. Because of this "Nine Nails" McCray sets out on a mission to find the escapee to discover what his sister said. Naturally, his subordinate, Frey, has to follow.
As they follow Lord Ardglass the trail takes them from Edinburgh into Lancaster and then on to the headquarters of England's witches.
I really enjoyed the book although I have to admit that there were times when I wanted to slap Frey silly for being such a spoiled rotten, whiner. In fact when McCray did belt him I was practically on my feet cheering.
I am going to start the first book tonight and if it is as good I will be adding this author to my "continue to read" list.
