Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Holmes

[nice copy, no discernible wear but with remainder spray on the bottom of the text block, and a one-time owner's name plus date & place of purchase in ink at top of front endpaper; the jacket has a couple of tiny and unobtrusive closed tears at the top edge of the front panel]. An account of "the blackest mystery in Holmes's career," concerning an urgent plea from Queen Victoria herself for Holmes to take over the investigation of the murder of a Member of Parliament, which has baffled Scotland Yard. "As Holmes and Watson stalk a diabolical foe through the nether regions of London, they uncover horrors that threaten to destroy forever the very codes that hold together Victorian society. So terrifying were the implications of the Jekyll-Hyde case that it could only be recounted at the time by [Robert Louis] Stevenson as fiction. Here finally is the entire first-hand account of this heinous crime as recorded by Dr. Watson. And an explanation of the circumstances that demanded that Holmes's involvement in the matter be kept secret. Until now."
