One of the Guardian’s novels everyone must read. This new edition of Stevenson’s renowned gothic masterpiece has a specially written introduction by Denise Mina. In The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, London lawyer Gabriel John Utterson investigates a series of sinister events involving his seemingly respectable friend Dr Henry Jekyll and the dangerous and violent criminal known as Edward Hyde.
