A thrilling new novella about a Jekyll and Hyde–obsessed Scot in
Paris from the international-bestselling author of the Inspector Rebus
mysteries. For recent college graduate Ronald Hastie, a job at the
legendary Shakespeare and Company bookshop offers the perfect
occupation during a summer abroad in Paris. Working part-time in
exchange for room and board leaves plenty of freedom to explore the
city once visited by his literary hero, Robert Louis Stevenson, and
things only get better when he meets a collector who claims to have
the original manuscripts of both the first draft of Jekyll and Hyde
and the never-published The Travelling Companion (both thought to have
been destroyed). Then Ron meets the man’s mysterious assistant, and
a reckless obsession stirs inside him. As the life he knew back home
in Scotland fades from memory, he desperately seeks the secret lying
within Stevenson’s long-lost pages. . . . The Bibliomysteries are
a series of short tales about deadly books, by top mystery authors.
