Mystery Historical | Mystery Woman Sleuth | Fantasy
Based on some of literature’s horror and science fiction
classics, this is the story of a remarkable group of
women who come together to solve the mystery of a series
of gruesome murders—and the bigger mystery of their own
origins. Mary Jekyll, alone and penniless following her parents’
death, is curious about the secrets of her father’s
mysterious past. One clue in particular hints that Edward
Hyde, her father’s former friend and a murderer, may be
nearby, and there is a reward for information leading to
his capture…a reward that would solve all of her
immediate financial woes. But her hunt leads her to Hyde’s daughter, Diana, a feral
child left to be raised by nuns. With the assistance of
Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, Mary continues her search
for the elusive Hyde, and soon befriends more women, all
of whom have been created through terrifying
experimentation: Beatrice Rappaccini, Catherin Moreau,
and Justine Frankenstein. When their investigations lead them to the discovery of a
secret society of immoral and power-crazed scientists,
the horrors of their past return. Now it is up to the
monsters to finally triumph over the monstrous.
