Description
Captain Edward Henry Hyde is chief detective for the City of Edinburgh Police. A man of striking appearance, he provokes unease in those who encounter him, yet he is a good person struggling with his own demons. When a brutal murder occurs, with no memory of how he got there or the events leading up to it, Hyde's alarm is triggered on two levels. The crime scene involves an ancient Celtic rite of sacrifice entangled with dark Scottish spiritual mythology, known as the Threefold Death. This, combined with Hyde's rare form of epilepsy that causes him to lose time and experience vivid dreams, makes his investigation complex. As he searches for real-world clues, he must also unravel the significance of the imagery in the otherworld of his dreaming. Hyde's investigation leads him to places he fears but has never fully imagined. With no clear answers, he must navigate a city on edge to uncover the truth behind the murder.
