The Classified Dossier Series - Book 2
Sherlock Holmes and Mr. Hyde
“Klaver tosses in elements from Robert Louis Stevenson, H. G. Wells, and H. P. Lovecraft. The starting point is the ostensible return, in 1903, of Jack the Ripper.”
Publishers Weekly
A deftly crafted, scintillating mash-up of Victorian mystery and horror-Sherlock Holmes and Mr Hyde encounter villains with unfathomable, terrifying abilities.
1903. A darkness has descended on London. A series of grisly murders are uncovered, trophies taken, bodies arranged, and soon there are whispers of Jack the Ripper's return.
A new client arrives at Baker Street seeking Sherlock Holmes's help: Dr. Jekyll claims his friend has been wrongfully accused of the hideous crimes, a friend called Mr. Edward Hyde, whose very existence relies on a potion administered by the doctor himself.
But the case becomes more complicated, more unsettling than simply proving Mr. Hyde's innocence-for Holmes and Watson unearth beastly transformations, a killer who moves unseen, a secret organization, and then find a traitor in their midst.
