The Heights
by G I Stanton
Welcome to Edinburgh. It has always been a city of contrasts. The sweeping elegance of its Georgian New Town once sat cheek by jowl with the squalor of its disease-ridden Old Town. It was the cradle of Hume’s Enlightenment, yet it was also the hunting ground of the two notorious Williams, Burke and Hare. Little wonder that the city inspired R L Stevenson to pen Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.
Now Edinburgh is home to another monster. He’s a modern-day Mr Hyde, but without the alter ego of a good doctor to stem his cravings. He’s a grotesque, but he’s also extremely wealthy; wealthy enough to do what he wants when he wants and get away with it.
Come and meet the grotesque. Sit with him in his lair, his Georgian pile up in The Heights of the city. Listen to his bile-filled conversations with his long-dead mother. And prowl with him along the empty streets and through the dark parks and mist-shrouded graveyards as he seeks his targets.
By the way, he thinks he’s an angel. An Angel of Justice, with a mission to rid the city of its transgressors, its scroungers, its useless. In truth, though, no-one is safe from his avenging strikes. Not even you.
In a rare departure from the norm, author G I Stanton narrates this dark, powerful debut novel entirely in the second person. But be warned. It’s a device that will plunge you deep into the mind of the monster, so deep that you might struggle to resurface...
