A Fever of the Blood by Oscar de MurielMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
New years day, 1889, Scottish detective 'Nine-Nails' McGray and exiled, Londoner, inspecter Ian Frey are woken in the early hours, summoned quickly to Edinburgh's lunatic Asylum.
Once there, the unlikely pair are quickly shown to a room, where a young girl lies dying, not a patient, but a nurse who has been poisoned! And her killer? A patient who, by all means has escaped the asylum, leading McGray and Frey in a manhunt. But it's not as easy one with all the secrets that are surrounding the escaped killer.
Will they be able to find him before he kills again?
Their chase lease them from Scotland to Lancaster, but why? what does another dead prisoner and former butler have to do with anything, and what about the second young nurse?
Just what part does she have in all of this?
And is the escaped mad man, really mad?
