Publisher's Summary

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)

From international best-selling 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.

Critic Reviews

"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)   

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

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

A slow start, but well worth the wait

I found this book difficult to sink into initially. I wasn’t sure I liked Captain Hyde, and things seemed to move slowly. I am very glad I stuck with it though as, after that initial uncertainty, this became a cracking read. The plot raced along, and the Celtic mythology woven through it was fascinating. There’s even a love story in amongst the gore. A riveting book and a startling ending.
