To his followers Father Ignatius, head of an eccentric and unauthorized monastic order, was a miracle-worker of the London slums who raised the dead and healed the sick. To his enemies, he was a charlatan and sadist, a music-hall trickster and diabolist. This book is based upon events in the life of this controversial Victorian. The resurrection of a Whitechapel seamstress by Father Ignatius is here performed in the presence of a sceptical doctor, Samuel Mosley, after Mosley's son and partner, James, has certified her dead. But the seamstress, Lizzie Meek, deserts Ignatius, is denounced by him and within a month dies the very death from which he had saved her.
