Deacon Brodie isn't that well known outside of Edinburgh. Yet he inspired Robert Louis Stevenson to write Jekyll and Hyde. Similarly, Stanley isn't that well known outside of Stockport. Yet he's campaigned with Napoleon and been up Everest with Mallory. Maybe. Perhaps. By day, in the 18th century, Deacon Brodie was a respectable cabinetmaker. By night, he was a masked burglar in Edinburgh's Old Town. Against his will, Stanley gets roped into his escapades. And he could flipping well swing for it. A public hanging!
