Description

A quiet English parish is thrown into turmoil when Reverend Norton Homfray, a learned but grieving rector, spots a familiar stranger seated in his church pew—a man who, according to all records, died far away in New York a year and a half earlier. The sight haunts the clergyman, stirring memories of love lost and an unsettling fear that something beyond the ordinary has entered his sanctuary.

Norton’s son, Roddy, a mining engineer with a passion for early wireless experiments, keeps a delicate crystal‑receiver and a pair of telephones in his study. The device can capture distant stations and even the faint crackle of ships at sea, a marvel that fascinates the community. As the rector wrestles with the mystery of the vanished stranger, the strange apparatus hints at a connection between the supernatural sighting and the invisible world of radio waves, pulling the Homfray family into a puzzling intrigue that threatens to shatter their peaceful lives.

1864–1927

A wildly popular early master of spy fiction, he turned fears of invasion, secret plots, and political intrigue into fast-moving stories that gripped readers before the First World War. His life as a journalist, traveler, and public commentator gave his thrillers an extra spark of urgency.
