About this book

"The ghosts of a man and woman haunt the new housing development at Forsby near Boston, sapping the vitality of a young wife, Julia Grier. They are identified as the former owners of the land who have been tricked out of their property by fraud. It requires a cruel revelation and the fortitude of Julia to finally lay the two spirits to rest."- - Description by Peter Haining, in "A Century of Ghost Novels 1900 - 2000" (Appendix to his book, The Mammoth Book of Modern Ghost Stories)
