MELODRAMA AND DERRING-DO' Herald 1887. The streets of Edinburgh
seethe with anarchy as two gangs of students rival each other in
wild exploits. After a pitched battle between them, an old woman is
found savagely battered to death in Leith Harbour. Enter the
Thieftaker - Inspector Jame McLevy. With Constable Mulholland at
his side, he scours the low dives of the waterfront and then sees
the tendrils of the case spread to more respectable nooks and
crannies. When the inspector encounters Robert Louis Stevenson,
author of Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, in the city to
bury his deceased father, the two recognise each other as fellow
travellers, observers of the dark side of human nature and both
hopeless insomniacs. Glimpses of the murderer indicate a slender,
androgynous figure with a silver cane, which is used to lethal
effect. A dancing killer non unlike Mr Edward Hyde. THE INSPECTOR
