Publisher's Synopsis
Elvi Lloyd is bitterly ashamed of her mother's profession - Sybil scrapes a living by holding fraudulent séances for gullible middle-aged women. When Bernard Pomfrey comes into their lives, Sybil thinks that he's falling for her mature charms, but he is more evil and vicious than either can imagine. As Swansea's most successful brothel-keeper he is intent on having his wicked way with innocent Elvi before forcing her into prostitution. He also has designs on Lynnys, daughter of his helper Connie Lamar, and as he becomes increasingly violent, Connie may be the only one who can save both girls from their mothers' sins.
