3. The Wild Spark

Available for 34 days

When an Edinburgh tobacco warehouse goes up in smoke, the Victorian detective sets out to investigate. A man and a woman appear to be doing something in private, fearing detection. Something in the dark, which requires candles - and lots of oil. Arson, perhaps? Starring Brian Cox and Siobhan Redmond. Another case for David Ashton's sleuth - solving crimes on the streets of Victorian Edinburgh. McLevy .... Brian Cox Mistress Jean Brash .... Siobhan Redmond Mulholland ....
