Work Description
"The ghost of a woman whose living body haunts her former husband and his second wife, her adoring brother, her friends - is brought back to life by a miracle of modern science. Eve Minary's dark fragile beauty concealed a twisted mind - concealed too, dangerous knowledge. With an extraordinary tensity of brooding horror, the story moved rapidly to Murder; and young Doctor Marc Castleman has to act fast to save his professional reputation."--From the publisher's notes 1944.
