Arthur Burdon and his beautiful fiancee disliked the enormously fat and eccentric Oliver Haddo, but they were fascinated by his stories of black magic, by his demonstrations of a power that seemed inhuman. And while they scoffed at his boasts, their dislike turned to loathing. A month later Margaret disappeared. The note she left behind began: "When you receive this, I shall be on my way to London. I was married to Oliver Haddo this morning." Why? How? What mysterious power had the Magician used? What further revenge was he plotting? The answers are revealed in this hairraising fantasy by one of the world's great storytellers.

Why I Recommend
Audible by Alan Twigg
Audible (an Amazon.com company) is the world's leading online
audio-book provider. Audible is responsible for supplying audio
content to Apple's ITunes service. I have been listening,
enjoying and creating audio books for many years. With
the arrival of the internet and portable digital devices,
audio-books began to become availalbe for download.
Having tried most of
the other download services myself, I finally came to
the conclusion that Audible offers the best and most
reliable service. Whether you are using an IPod, IPhone,
mobile phone, Dune or one of the many other MP3 players
availalbe, Audilbe makes downloading great quality audio
content easy and umcomplicated.
In addition to this, Audible also boasts the most comprehensive collection
of audio books anywhere. Depending on the promotion currently on
offer, you can download any audiobook of your
choice for free (including almost
certainly the title on this
page, too).
