The Lamplighter

In Edinburgh, 1886, two brutal murders, quickly followed by a bizarre exhumation, have the entire city on edge. Cards Groves, a conceited and prejudiced police inspector is assigned the case. Baffled by the superhuman strength required to rip two men apart and drag up a coffin, Groves focuses on an anguished young woman, Evelyn Todd, who claims to have dreamed of the crimes in great detail.
