Publisher's Synopsis
This twisted tale of love and horror reveals that The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was actually based on Robert Louis Stevenson's interviews in a pub with a truly troubled person. Contrary to the book's ending, where Jekyll is contemplating suicide, Jekyll and Hyde did not die. Instead, the story continues with a diabolical method of cheating the gallows and creating a new identity. Together with a female lover and accomplice drawn from a brothel, the savage murders continue, spiralling in and out of historical events, with more surprises in store.
