About the Author
Robert Louis Stevenson was born in Edinburgh. The success of Treasure Island (1883) and Kidnapped (1886) established his reputation as a writer of tales of action and adventure. Stevenson's Calvinist upbringing lent him a preoccupation with predestination and a fascination with the presence of evil, themes he explored in The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (1886) Denise Mina has won the CWA Dagger for Best First Crime Novel, the Theakstons Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year twice, and the MacIlvanney Prize twice. She is the author of the first Darkland Tale, Rizzio (Polygon).
