Bookroo's summary

In the shadowy streets of 19th Century London, the sinister Mr. Hyde leaves a trail of terror. Yet, his crimes are mysteriously shielded by the esteemed Dr. Jekyll. As the city whispers of their connection, a dark secret looms. What binds these two men, and what will happen when the truth emerges? Dive into a tale where the boundaries of good and evil blur, and the human soul is tested.

From the publisher

All human beings, as we meet them, are commingled out of good and evil: and Edward Hyde, alone, in the ranks of mankind, was pure evil.

The disturbing Mr. Hyde is making his repugnant presence known in late 19th Century London. But punishment for his vile acts are always parried by the good, and well-respected, Dr. Jekyll. Soon, the secret relationship between the two men will be revealed.

A classic that continues to be referenced today, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde will forever be locked in literary history.
