a novel

As chief detective for the City of Edinburgh Police, Captain Edward Henry Hyde is responsible for investigating all murders and serious crimes in the city. When Hyde finds himself at the scene of a brutal murder, with no idea of how he got there or the events leading up to the discovery, his alarm is triggered on two levels. First, the crime scene involves the Threefold Death, an ancient Celtic rite of sacrifice entangled with dark Scottish spiritual mythology. Second, Hyde suffers from a rare form of epilepsy that causes him to lose time-- amnesiac absences where he cannot account for his actions-- and nocturnal seizures that manifest themselves as vivid and lucid dreams. Trying to unravel the imagery in the otherworld of his dreaming, his investigation leads to the very places he fears, but has never fully imagined. -- adapted from Amazon
