A new case for Sherlock Holmes in Edinburgh

A combination of an intriguing crime novel for young adults, with a new case for Sherlock Holmes and a reawakening of Scotland ‘s forgotten heroes, The Calling is a magical story set during the Edinburgh Festival.

Nearly all of its characters can be  observed standing on plinths in the heart of the city.

Only one human or ‘Softie’ is able to witness the statues coming to life for just one day of the year, and he hopes they can help him discover who he is.

The Calling, by Philip Caveney, Fledgling Press, £7.99.
