Synopsis
"Edward Atherton, Rector of Thornham St. Stephen, should never have meddled with the fourteenth-century tomb of the Abbot of Thornham--not even in the interests of restoration. But he did. And something has followed him unseen into this world. A malign, shadowy presence now stalks the rector, who fears for his life, even behind locked doors."--Jacket.
