Doctor Jackie and Miss Haide. The curse of the sea – vol. 2

The mysteries of Scottish folklore creatures, the dark alleys of Edinburgh, and the mist of the moors, explored by three young detectives.

An endless storm is battering the Edinburgh harbor, preventing ships from setting sail. Under the pouring rain, a macabre tale is terrorizing the city: three sailors have been found dead, with the soles of their feet peeled. Jackie and Haide Turner, daughters of the police inspector, and young Lewis Stevenson, future writer of adventure novels, are now a well-established trio. In their investigations, they come across a sailor who seems to know something about the murders, but soon he, too, is killed in the same strange and cruel manner… And if they are right, the mysterious killer will continue to pursue his victims, connected by a dark, unspeakable past, until he completes his revenge. Only Jackie’s deductive skills, Haide’s formidable intuition, and young Lewis’s courage can solve this case, where the power of the supernatural intertwines with the strength of terribly human emotions, to prevent anyone else from dying.

• Jackie and Haide are inspired by Jekyll and Hyde. They are twins—identical and opposite.
• A young Robert Louis Stevenson in the role of a detective hunting monsters and stories.
