Ghostalker Ropa Moyo and her rag-tag team of magicians are back in
The Mystery at Dunvegan Castle, the third book in the spellbinding
Edinburgh Nights series by T. L. Huchu. She came for magic. She
stayed to solve a murder . . . Ropa Moyo is no stranger to magic or
mysteries. But she’s still stuck in an irksomely unpaid
internship. So she’s thrilled to attend a magical convention at
Dunvegan Castle, on the Isle of Skye, where she’ll rub elbows
with eminent magicians. For Ropa, it’s the perfect opportunity to
finally prove her worth. Then a librarian is murdered and a
precious scroll stolen. Suddenly, every magician is a suspect, and
Ropa and her allies investigate. Trapped in a castle, with
suspicions mounting, Ropa must contend with corruption, skulduggery
and power plays. Time to ask for a raise? Praise for The Edinburgh
Nights series: 'An artful combination of magic, history and
imagination wrapped up in an engaging story' - Ben Aaronovitch,
bestselling author of Rivers of London, on Our Lady of Mysterious
Ailments 'The Library of the Dead’s alluring, shadowy Edinburgh
with its hints of sophisticated academic magic will draw you in' -
Olivie Blake, bestselling author of The Atlas Six
When ghosts talk, she will listen . . .
Ropa dropped out of school to become a ghostalker – and she now speaks
to Edinburgh’s dead, carrying messages to the living. A girl’s gotta
earn a living, and it seems harmless enough. Until, that is, the dead
whisper that someone’s bewitching children – leaving them husks, empty
of joy and life. It’s on Ropa’s patch, so she feels honour bound to
investigate. But what she learns will change her world.
She’ll dice with death (not part of her life plan . . .) as she calls
on Zimbabwean magic and Scottish pragmatism to hunt down clues. For
Edinburgh hides a wealth of secrets. And in the process, she discovers
an occult library and some unexpected allies. Yet as shadows lengthen,
will the hunter become the hunted?
Opening up a world of magic and adventure, The Library of the Dead by
T. L. Huchu is the first book in the Edinburgh Nights series.

Our Lady of Mysterious Ailments by T. L. Huchu is the second
spellbinding book in the Edinburgh Nights series. 'A fast-moving
and entertaining tale, beautifully written' - Ben Aaronovitch,
bestselling author of Rivers of London on The Library of the Dead
Some secrets are meant to stay buried When Ropa Moyo discovered an
occult underground library, she expected great things. She's really
into Edinburgh's secret societies - but turns out they are less
into her. So instead of getting paid to work magic, she's had to
accept a crummy unpaid internship. And her with bills to pay and a
pet fox to feed. Then her friend Priya offers her a job on the
side. Priya works at Our Lady of Mysterious Maladies, a very
specialized hospital, where a new illness is resisting magical and
medical remedies alike. The first patient was a teenage boy, Max
Wu, and his healers are baffled. If Ropa can solve the case, she
might earn as she learns - and impress her mentor, Sir Callander.
Her sleuthing will lead her to a lost fortune, an avenging spirit
and a secret buried deep in Scotland's past. But how are they
connected? Lives are at stake and Ropa is running out of time.
Praise for The Library of the Dead: 'Roll on the sequel' - The
Times 'One of the strangest and most compelling fantasy worlds
you'll see all year' - SFX
