Edinburgh
When Robert Louis Stevenson wrote The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde in 1886, it shocked genteel society. Little did people realise that although he set the book in London, he had based his story on the reallife case of an Edinburgh man. Deacon William Brodie was a respecable cabinetmaker and locksmith who, when he closed his shop in the evening, lived another life. After dark he frequented the less prepectable parts of the town - gambling, cockfighting and fathering five illegitimate children. He funded this lifestyle by stealing from his respectable customers, taking copies of the keys of cabinets and strongboxes sold in his shop and creeping into their houses to relieve them of their valualbles.
