Australian novelist Anthony O'Neill tips his hat to 'The Strange Case Of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' with his own spellbinding tale of a soul divided.
Set in the late 19th century in Robert Louis Stevenson's native Edinburgh, the novel follows Evelyn Todd, an excitable young woman whose arrival in the city coincides with a wave of savage murders. O'Neill is a masterful storyteller with a thorough knowledge of both the urban life and the literary tropes of late 19th-century Britain and has created characters embodying the questions about good and evil, faith and fanaticism that preoccupied Stevenson's contemporaries.
'The Lamplighter' is a compulsive page-turner.
