Una cumbre medioambiental está a punto de celebrarse en Hamburgo cuando llega una tormenta a la ciudad que inunda sus calles por completo. Cuando las aguas bajan por fin, dejan al descubierto múltiples destrozos y algo siniestro: un cadáver decapitado.En principio, el comisario Jan Fabel cree que puede tratarse de una victima más de un violador y asesino en serie, un criminal que acosa a sus víctimas a través de las redes sociales para, después de localizarlas y matarlas, deshacerse de sus cuerpos en los canales que surcan la ciudad de Hamburgo.Sin embargo, la situación es mucho más complicada y espeluznante. La investigación de Fabel le lleva hasta una secta secreta, Pharos, cuyos adeptos creen en el fin del mundo a causa de la degeneración medioambiental y que está financiado por Dominik Korn, un billonario paralítico que vive alejado de la sociedad.

"Edward Hyde es poseedor de un don extraño (o de una maldición) que mantiene oculta a todo el mundo excepto a su médico. Él experimenta dos realidades, una que es su vida real y la otra; un estado del mundo de los sueños alimentado por una extraña condición neurológica. Cuando una serie de asesinatos azotan la ciudad de Edimburgo con ecos de un antiguo ritual celta llamado "triple muerte", el Capitán Edward Hyde tendrá que salir a la captura de los responsables. En el proceso se verá inmerso en una misteriosa y peligrosa red de ocultismo celta intrigante y obscura, dirigida por figuras muy poderosas. Las respuestas están aún por ser descubiertas, no solo en el mundo real sino también en el simbolismo siniestro del otro mundo en el que habita Edward Hyde. Hyde solo tiene dos opciones: detener al asesino o perder la razón. Un cuento oscuro. El que inspira al amigo de Hyde, Robert Louis Stevenson."-- Provided by publisher
