Edinburgh, 1886: Evil has a new name . A religious academic is mutilated on one of the city's finest streets. The grave of a famous colonel is ravaged. A shady entrepreneur is slaughtered while dashing for a train. A retired lighthouse keeper is ripped to shreds while walking his dog.What monster is responsible? Is there a connection between the victims? And what of Evelyn Todd, the anguished young woman who claims to have dreamed the atrocities in detail, and repeatedly blames 'the lamplighter'?
