It is 1938. As the shadow of fascism darkens over Europe, strange things are happening in Alma Fielding's suburban home in Croydon. Crockery flies off the shelves; stolen rings appear on Alma's fingers; and white mice scuttle out of her handbag.
Nandor Fodor – chief ghost hunter for the International Institute for Psychical Research – arrives on the scene, determined to crack the case. As Fodor's obsession deepens, and Alma becomes ever more disturbed, the pair find themselves in a treacherous battle of wills . . .
