Omtale fra Den Norske Bokdatabasen
Edinburgh, 1886. Two brutal murders and a bizarre exhumation have the city on edge, and conceited inspector Carus Groves is assigned the case. Baffled by the evidence of superhuman strength, Groves focuses on an anguished young woman, Evelyn Todd, who claims to have dreamed of the crime. Meanwhile, Thomas McKnight, a jaded Professor of Logic and Metaphysics, and Joseph Canavan, a compassionate cemetery attendant, are similarly drawn towards Evelyn. They discover her extraordinary imagination was violently suppressed in childhood, but in her dreams she retains the image of the lamplighter who brightened the street outside her orphanage. Evelyn now insists the killer is this lamplighter. And as a strange beast gallops through Edinburgh's misty alleys, and Groves's investigation flounders, McKnight and Canavan use the only weapons they possess - reason, logic, intuition, philosophy and sheer luck, to unearth the secrets buried in the dark recesses of Evelyn's mind.
