Strangler loose in Edinburgh. Also operated in France. Ian, our detective, had parents burned to death in arson fire. He is scarred. Murderer has homosexual undercurrent motive working; detective Ian might be suppressed homosexual as well. Street urchin, Derek, helping as is a lower class copper. Murderer passages with brother suggest murderer was abused by father. Pretty good so far . . . nice descriptions of the Royal Mile and Edinburgh in general.
Excellent start . . . orphaned girl with a knack for chess, taught by janitor, harsh orphanage despite its courtly look.
