The first three Inspector McLevy thrillers in one omnibus edition - wonderfully evocative detective fiction based in the dark and dank wynds of Victorian Edinburgh. In SHADOW OF THE SERPENT, McLevy is lured into a murky world of politics and perversion after a prostitute is brutally murdered. After a break-in and murder at the Edinburgh home of the egotistical builder of the Tay Bridge, McLevy uncovers even more sinister goings-on in FALL FROM GRACE, this time aided by brothel madam Jean Brash. A TRICK OF THE LIGHT sees McLevy team up with Sherlock Holmes creator Arthur Conan Doyle to pursue a ruthless killer and pit his skills against a deadly American spiritualist.

The shadow of the serpent -- Fall from grace -- A trick of the light.
