Catriona _ a sequel to Kidnapped This sequel to R.L. Stevenson's Kidnapped takes David Balfour further into intrigue and danger as he seeks to solve the Appin murder and absolve himself and his friend, Alan Breck. Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde How thin is the line between good and evil? Dr Jekyll has been experimenting with his identity.
