The work chronicles the life and notorious trial of William Brodie, a respected member of Edinburgh society by day and a criminal by night, exploring themes of duality and deception inherent in his life. The opening of the book sets the stage for Brodie’s intriguing yet tragic narrative, describing him as a notable figure in Edinburgh's past, known both for his respectable trade as a carpenter and for his criminal exploits. It introduces the reader to Brodie's unremarkable beginnings and gradual descent into crime, fueled by gambling and a craving for adventure that ultimately leads him into the depths of duplicity. Through the detailed introduction, the editor, Roughead, establishes Brodie’s dual nature, hinting at the imminent events that will culminate in his trial and framing the historical significance of his actions amidst the backdrop of 18th-century Edinburgh.
