City of Belmont - Ruth Faulkner Public Library

1889. The Scottish Play is coming home. But before the darling couple of London theatre, Henry Irving and Ellen Terry, take their acclaimed Macbeth north of the border, terror treads the boards on closing night in the capital. A supposed banshee leaves a message written in blood, foretelling someone's demise. But whose? With the company's arrival in Scotland, comes another death threat and Edinburgh's own beloved pair – Detective 'Nine-Nails' McGray and Inspector Ian Frey – enter the scene. Frey scoffs, believing it to be a publicity stunt, while McGray is convinced it's a supernatural affair. As they scrutinise the key players, they discover that Terry, Irving and his peculiar, preoccupied assistant (one Bram Stoker) all have reasons to kill, or be killed ... By occult curse or human hand, death will take a bow the night the curtain rises.
