Edinburgh Nights: The Library of the Dead
When a child goes missing in Edinburgh's darkest streets, young ghostalker Ropa begins an investigation. She'll need to call on Zimbabwean magic as well as her Scottish pragmatism to hunt down clues, but as shadows lengthen, will the hunter become the hunted? If ghosts want to talk, it's her job to listen . . .
Opening up an incredible world of magic and adventure, The Library of the Dead is a sharp contemporary fantasy novel that follows a precocious and cynical teen exploring the shadowy magical underside of modern Edinburgh.
"Alluring, shadowy Edinburgh with its hints of sophisticated academic magic will draw readers in, but it’s Ropa (a hard knocks ghostalker on her paranormal grind to pay the rent) who grabs hold." -- Olivie Blake, bestselling author of The Atlas Six
