Synopsis: | In this dark thriller, Robert Wringhim's powerful faith in predestination means he knows his name is in the Book of the Saved. He will be going to Heaven and nothing he does can change it. Looks at what a man will do when freed (in his own mind at least) from any moral restraints. When Wringhim's religious certainty is combined with the devious whisperings of a mysterious figure known as Gil-Martin, he finds himself caught up in a blood-soaked life of criminal activity. Hogg's superb tale of good, evil and the sometimes thin boundary that separates them was a major influence on the writing of Robert Louis Stevenson's Jekyll and Hyde | |||||
