      Devil's Playground

      Ein Film – ein Fluch – ein tödliches Geheimnis

      Hochspannend – mitreißend – meisterhaft Hollywood 1927: Mary Rourke, eigentlich PR-Frau einer Film-Company, wird in die Villa von Norma Carlton gerufen, einem Star des amerikanischen Stummfilms. Norma hat in einem geheimen Film mit dem Titel Devil's Playground mitgespielt, der angeblich einen tödlichen Fluch auf alle an der Produktion Beteiligten gelegt hat. Als Mary die Schauspielerin tot auffindet, bekommt sie von ihrem Filmboss den Auftrag, diesen Mord zu vertuschen. Doch damit setzt sie eine Serie von Morden in Gang, wie selbst Hollywood sie noch nicht gesehen hat. Denn nichts ist, wie es scheint, und Mary kann niemanden trauen – nicht einmal in ihren eigenen Augen. Ein grandioser Thriller über Ruhm, falsches Glück und gefährliche Illusionen. Ein absolutes Meisterwerk!

He experiences two realities, one real, the other a dreamworld state brought on by a neurological condition. When murders in Victorian Edinburgh echo the ancient Celtic threefold death ritual, Captain Edward Hyde hunts for those responsible. In the process he becomes entangled in a web of Celticist occultism and dark scheming by powerful figures. The answers are there to be found, not just in the real world but in the sinister symbolism of Edward Hyde's otherworld. He must find the killer, or lose his mind
