Ray Russell - Sagittarius

Synopsis:
In 1909, the two finest actors in Paris were the classical Sellig and his polar 
opposite Laval, a monstrous performer at the Grand Guignol. Narrator Earl Terrence 
Glencannon is intrigued by both, the one handsome and charming, the other every 
bit as ghastly as the Bluebeard role he has made his own (he doesn’t even use 
make-up). When Clothilde, a pretty good-time girl on the theatre fringes is 
found butchered in the manner of a Ripper victim, the terrible secret linking 
the two actors is gradually revealed. Glencannon theorises that the killer is 
none other than the son of Mr. Hyde, modelling himself on Gilles de Rais
