Synopsis follows...

For ten years, The Terror has laughed at both police and public. And for ten years, two of his erstwhile associates, Joe Connor and Soapy Marks, have plotted revenge on the mastermind whose double-crossing sent them to Dartmoor without their share of the bullion stolen in a daring raid.

Connor is the first to arrive at Monk’s Hall Priory, a guest house reputedly haunted by the ghost of a hooded monk. There is indeed a distinctly uncanny presence about the old place; but none of the guests suspect that The Terror is in their midst.
