Description

This book is one of the most thrilling detective novels written by James Hadley Chase—and it immediately became a bestseller. The action takes place in England. A kingpin of the criminal world—a fat man named Rollo—receives an unusual offer: for a respectable sum he must learn the secret of how to bring the dead back to life. Rollo turns to his friend, Doctor Martin, to help him with this matter. Without giving it much thought, Dr. Martin suggests staging a small performance for the client—“reviving” someone who agrees to be a corpse—but the client proposes reviving his deceased brother instead. The plot is full of “communication” with the otherworldly and encounters with the secrets of Voodoo. The events unfold so unexpectedly, so rapidly, and so tragically that the reader can’t tear themselves away from this gripping story until the very end.
