A vengeful ghost, a young solicitor, Larry, his wife Alice and their friend, Boyo, caught up in a crime which originates in a family feud.
The prize, power and wealth.
The story starts in London.
A poor shabby blind old man stands by a pedestrian crossing. Only one man, Larry, helps him cross.
This caring action triggers events which changes the lives of all three plus their fellow workers and the old man's family for ever. It leads from the office where our hero and his friend, work as solicitors, to an old 15th century manor in Yorkshire where Larry, Alice and Boyo track down the killer with the help of the ghost of the old man who in life was a millionaire owner of the old manor, Northropp Hall.
Charged with the detection of the killer, who changed a decent man into an Earth bound ghost, they suffer great danger and fearful near death defying events before the final terrifying unmasking and punishment of the mad murderer and thus opening the only way for the ghost to enter paradise.
