Synopsis
Her Majesty Queen Victoria is expected to visit Edinburgh informally when a man's unidentifiable body is found on the rocks below the Castle. Detective Inspector Jeremy Faro is baffled until his search reveals a jewelled cameo of great antiquity. One of a matching pair, containing miniatures of Mary Queen of Scots and her husband Lord Darnley, the appearance of its partner in Faro's policeman father's belongings evokes sinister and disturbing childhood memories of a thirty-year-old unsolved mystery. The 'Egyptian Style Curse on Edinburgh Castle', as it was known in the popular press, resulted in violent deaths, including that of Constable Magnus Faro. During masonry repairs, the mummified remains of an infant, wrapped in cloth of gold dating back to the sixteenth century, were found entombed in the wall of Mary Queen of Scots' apartments. Jeremy Faro soon discovers there are perils for those who seek the identity of 'the baby in the wall'. Faro's own life is in constant danger and one day his own two small daughters, on holiday from Orkney, disappear...
