Description
John Travers has been hanged for the murder of his mother-in-law Helga, but to those who knew him something is amiss. Driven by justice and a sense of uncanny forces at work, John's friend Doctor Toogood recounts a haunting tale of love and jealousy under the fell influence of a shadowy and implacable evil.
First published in 1927, this novel by husband-and-wife writing duo Rosalie and Edward Synton (real surname Corse-Scott) has been lost for nearly a century and returns now from the Library collections to deliver its occult thrills anew.

About the Author
Rosalie and Edward Synton was the joint pseudonym used by the married couple Rosalie (1889-1939) and Edward (1883-1943) Corse-Scott, two writers who emigrated to New Zealand from their home 'Little Synton', near Verwood in Dorset. Rosalie was born in Ireland; Edward to a British family in India. Edward published poetry collections under his own name and books and music under the 'Synton' pen name Possessed appears to be their only foray into the world of weird fiction, though research continues.
