Go back to Victorian times to find a very postmodern whodunit. Visceral prose, atmosphere you could choke on, characters who seem to be at your very shoulder. My sole regret after spending several hours inside Daniel Levine’s highly literate thriller is that I didn’t think of Hyde for myself.”-Ronald Frame, author of Havisham ($24.00) Houghton Mifflin Harcourt ISBN # 9780544191181.
