Charlie Higson, 2015

In the London of the 1930s, Robert Jekyll, a young medical practitioner, was in search of his own identity and purpose. Little did he know that his grandfather’s illicit experiments on the duality of human nature had a direct impact on his own physiology. These experiments were ingrained in his bloodline, and when faced with moments of stress, he would undergo a transformation into an alternate personality—exhibiting superhuman strength and a propensity for violence.
