| Summary: | " ... A gripping and poignant novel of psychic possession. The story begins when Arthur Lawford awakes from sleeping on the tomb of an eighteenth-century pirate, Nicholas Sabathier, to find that his face has become entirely different. Indeed, it bears an uncanny resemblance to a woodcut portrait of Sabathier in an old French book. At first, Lawford feels exactly himself; but a little later he senses "that other feebly struggling personality ... beginning to insinuate itself into his consciousness." Is it possible for the spirit of a dead person, in its implacable will to continue its existence, to seize upon the living?"--Back cover. |
