Description

Everyone has a dark side.

The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde follows the story of respectable Dr Jekyll's strange association with the 'damnable young man' Edward Hyde. Dr Jekyll has discovered the ultimate drug: a chemical that can turn him into something else his monstrous alter-ego.

Suddenly, he can unleash his deepest cruelties in the guise of the sinister Hyde. But the hunt is on, through fog-bound London for a killer. The final revelation of Hyde's true identity is a chilling exploration of humanity's basest capacity for evil.

With an introduction by Denise Mina.
