Het rijk der mythen en magie en onze realiteit vloeien samen: in kelders vol rokerige schaduwen wordt gedanst op primitieve ritmes, gezichtsloze motorrijders patrouilleren als slechte ridders, advertentiecampagnes zitten vol oeroude symbolen, en computers vallen ten prooi aan ongeprogrammeerde boodschappen. Na vele eeuwen heeft de heksenkoningin een weg teruggevonden naar onze wereld. Deze Morgus is herboren uit de rivier des doods, jonger, machtiger en gevaarlijker dan ooit. Maar haar diepste wezen is onveranderd amoreel, hongerig naar macht en eindeloos wraakzuchtig. Kan haar oude leerling Fern haar aan? Fern weet als geen ander dat magie een prijs heeft...

Underneath the cobbled streets of Edinburgh's old Town are medieval stone cellars where a man could scream and never be heard. In mortal Causes, the tortured body of a young man is found hanging from a butcher's hook in one of these underground rooms. The tattoo on his wrist and a cryptic inscription scratched in the dirt suggest to Inspector John Rebus that this was an execution, but what man or men carried it out?

Bundel verhalen met de Schotse inspecteur Rebus in de hoofdrol.
