When he accidentally kills a friend in an argument over a game of cards, Adrian Lancaster is at his wits' end. He seeks refuge in an old house in Hampstead, the home of an aged recluse whose incredible proposition might offer the escape route that Adrian so desperately seeks - but at a terrible price... Originally published in 1890, this is a supernatural fantasy of body-swapping and magic, from the pen of popular mystery writer Fergus Hume.
