WINNER OF THE 2021 McILVANNEY AWARD

IAN RANKIN S CHOICE FOR BOTH BEST MYSTERY BOOK OF 2021 (PBS), AND BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR (NEW STATESMAN)

Russell writes a pacy, ever-twisting mystery that will keep you turning the pages. - Ian Rankin

When it comes to Gothic crime, Craig Russell is peerless. Absolutely stunning. - M W Craven

From international bestselling author Craig Russell comes a modern Gothic masterpiece.

Edward Hyde has a strange gift - or a curse - he keeps secret from all but his physician. He experiences two realities, one real, the other a dreamworld state brought on by a neurological condition.

When murders in Victorian Edinburgh echo the ancient Celtic threefold death ritual, Captain Edward Hyde hunts for those responsible. In the process he becomes entangled in a web of Celticist occultism and dark scheming by powerful figures. The answers are there to be found, not just in the real world but in the sinister symbolism of Edward Hyde s otherworld.

He must find the killer, or lose his mind.

A dark tale. One that inspires Hyde s friend . . . Robert Louis Stevenson.

Praise for Hyde:

Intricate...evocative prose enhances a suspenseful and sophisticated plot. This is the rare riff on an influential novel that sticks the landing Starred Review, Publishers Weekly

Stephen King meets Robert Louis Stevenson... an imaginative gothic tale guaranteed to send a shiver down your spine the next time you walk a dark Edinburgh night. - David Hewson, author of The Garden Of Angels

Russell delivers a brooding, stunningly atmospheric tale set in Stevenson s Edinburgh - multi-layered and intricately plotted, this is a Gothic thriller from the hands of a master. - Margaret Kirk, author of Shadow Man

A deliciously dark reimagining of a timeless character and a wonderful recreation of a gothic Edinburgh . . . Another winner for a consummate storyteller. - Douglas Skelton

Gloriously diabolical. A terrifying thrill ride through the hidden chasms of the human soul. - Chris Brookmyre, author of Black Widow

I absolutely adored it. Intense, harrowing and hugely entertaining. Craig Russell conjures the kind of spine-tingling tale that kept me reading through the night. Spectacular. - Chris Whittaker

The story is a thrilling ride through the murky depths of madness and horror, written with all Craig s trademark skill and style. Definitely five stars from me James Oswald

A Gothic masterpiece which will lead you so far into the darkness that you won t know who to trust. Another splendid offering from a writer who is top of his game. - Theresa Talbot

An engaging Gothic thriller full of atmosphere and surprises. - Irish Independent

Praise for Craig Russell
