"Chief Detective Captain Edward Hyde has a strange gift, or curse, he keeps hidden from all but his personal physician. He experiences two realities: one actual, the other a dreamworld state brought on by a severe neurological condition. When Hyde finds himself at the scene of a heinous murder by the riverbank, with no inkling of how he got there or if the events leading up to the discovery, his alarm is triggered by two terrifying facts. First, the burtal crime scene involves the Threefold Death, an ancient Celtic rite of sacrifice entangled with dark Scottish spiritual mythology. Second, Hyde's inability to remember any detail of his arrival at the crime scene may indicate a strenghtening of the rare form of epilepsy he suffers from that causes him to lose time. He experiences amnesiac absences where he cannot account for his actions and nocturnal seizures that manifest as vivid and lucid dreams. With the city on edge, Captain Hyde wades blindly into the murder investigation, finding himself not only searching for real-world clues, but trying to unravel the significance of the imagery in the otherworld of his dreaming"--Provided by publisher.
