Overview
Ganador del premio McIlvanney 2021 como mejor novela policíaca.
Por el autor best seller internacional Craig Russell, llega esta pieza maestra de terror gótico moderno.
«Gloriosamente diabólica. Un terrorífico paseo repleto de emoción y suspense a través de los abismos ocultos del alma humana.» Chris Brookmyre
Edward Hyde es poseedor de un don extraño (o de una maldición) que mantiene oculta a todo el mundo excepto a su médico. Él experimenta dos realidades, una que es su vida real y la otra; un estado del mundo de los sueños alimentado por una extraña condición neurológica.
Cuando una serie de asesinatos azotan la ciudad de Edimburgo con ecos de un antiguo ritual celta llamado "triple muerte", el Capitán Edward Hyde tendrá que salir a la captura de los responsables. En el proceso se verá inmerso en una misteriosa y peligrosa red de ocultismo celta intrigante y obscura, dirigida por figuras muy poderosas.
Las respuestas están aún por ser descubiertas, no solo en el mundo real sino también en el simbolismo siniestro del otro mundo en el que habita Edward Hyde.
Hyde solo tiene dos opciones: detener al asesino o perder la razón.
Un cuento oscuro. El que inspira al amigo de Hyde, Robert Louis Stevenson.
«Una mezcla entre Stephen King y Robert Louis Stevenson. Un cuento gótico repleto de imaginación.» David Hewson.
«Russell nos regala una historia inquietante e increíblemente atmosférica en el Edimburgo de Stevenson. Estamos ante un brillante thriller gótico creado por las manos de un maestro del género.» Margaret Kirk
«Una maravillosa reinterpretación de un personaje fascinante en el Edimburgo más gótico de todos los tiempos.» Douglas Skelton
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Winner of the 2021 McIlvanney Prize for Best Crime Novel of the Year
From the internationally acclaimed author, a stunning gothic reimagining of the Jekyll and Hyde story in which Captain Edward Hyde, chief detective of Victorian Edinburgh, investigates a gruesome murder that may unmask his own darkest secret
Victorian Edinburgh. Captain Edward Henry Hyde is chief detective for the City of Edinburgh Police; as such, he is responsible for investigating all murders and serious crimes in the city. Hyde is a striking but severe-looking man who provokes unease, and often fear, in those who encounter him. Nevertheless, Edward Hyde is truly a good man ... though he wrestles fiercely with his own unique demons.
When Hyde finds himself at the scene of a heinous murder, with no idea of how he got there or the events leading up to the discovery, his alarm is triggered on two levels. First, the crime scene is brutal and involves the Threefold Death, an ancient Celtic rite of sacrifice entangled with dark Scottish spiritual mythology. Second, Hyde's inability to remember any detail of his arrival at the crime scene makes him immediately fret about the secret he keeps from all but his physician: He suffers from a rare form of epilepsy that causes him to lose time—amnesiac absences where he cannot account for his actions—and nocturnal seizures that manifest themselves as vivid and lucid dreams.
As Hyde begins his investigation of the murder in a city on edge, he finds himself not only searching for real world clues, but trying to unravel the significance of the imagery in the otherworld of his dreaming. His investigation leads to the very places he fears, but has never fully imagined.
