The House of Dr. Edwardes

312, [2] pp. 8vo. A thriller that inspired Alfred Hitchcock's 1945 film Spellbound, starring Ingrid Bergman and Gregory Peck. It was written pseudonymously by John Palmer and Hilary Saunders, who used the pen name Francis Beeding (as they did with several other novels). The setting is an insane asylum, in which the psychiatrist in residence begins to suspect that the man who recently replaced the hospital's director is an impostor.
