  An utterly unique, Victorian-era mystery with a clever play on the famous Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde tale, where the monster becomes the hero, and lines are crossed along the way.Unbeknownst even to himself, the kind, gentle, quietly brilliant Dr. Jekyll has created an alter ego—his polar opposite, the dark and dangerous, Mr. Hyde. A little bit Dexter, Hyde hunts down criminals to make them pay for their sins. But his "good deeds" go too far and, now, wanted for murder, he must lay low . . . until his love interest comes into Jack the Ripper's sights.Francine Murphy, a social reformer years ahead of her time, walks the mean streets of Whitechapel London, rescuing the gin-soaked prostitutes that "Jack" preys upon. But as she gets closer and closer to the truth, will she become the Ripper's next target? Hyde and his exceptional investigation skills—and his wicked hand—may be all that saves her.A rich-new voice in historical mysteries, John A. Hoda, is an ex-police officer and private investigator, as well as a three-time winner of the publisher's award from the Legal Investigator.

  Necropsy knife in hand, Dr. Josie Harjo is back and ready to cut up dead bodies. Senior rotations have begun and Josie is joined by a cadre of veterinary students. When they fumble their way through their first case and strong personalities collide, Josie grudgingly accepts that it’s going to be a rough week. She’s soon worn thin as she tries to balance the never-ending parade of dead animals, teaching, and helping a struggling student. When a valuable item goes missing under Josie’s watch, it’s the last straw. Political infighting rages in the lab, and her coworkers start pointing fingers at each other. The diagnostic lab, once a place she enjoyed, becomes a den of turmoil. With her energy pulled in multiple directions, Josie is faced with an impossible choice. Does she focus on supporting the students or drop everything to ensure innocent people aren’t blamed for a crime they may not have committed?
