Publisher's Synopsis
Robert Louis Stevenson's classic tale about the dark side in all of us First published in 1886, the story of respectable Dr Jekyll's strange association with the violent Edward Hyde was a startling challenge to the modern understanding of personality and behaviour. The dramatic hunt for an elusive killer, and the final revelation of Hyde's true identity is a gripping exploration of humanity's capacity for evil. THE BODY SNATCHER deals with the dark underside of medicine and the price that is sometimes paid in the name of progress. No questions are asked when some of the bodies supplied for an anatomy class are suspiciously fresh, after all the dead can't object. Or can they?
