   Summary

   UNDERGOING MAJOR REWRITES FOR PUBLISHED CHAPTERS.

   When George Crabtree receives a mysterious journal bequeathed to him by one James Gillies, he thinks it must be a prank. After all, James Gillies was Murdoch's archenemy and not his. Naturally, he must let his favourite detective know about the mysterious package just in case James Gillies has, in fact, escaped death's grasp again.

   Told through a series of journal entries as well as flashbacks and present day actions, Murdoch and company begin to unravel the mystery that was James Gillies to find out one and for all whether the man was born a monster or warped into one.
