Doctor Syn is a quiet, unassuming vicar in the small fishing village of Dymchurch-under-the-wall. He, his sexton Mipps, and the friendly villagers lead a simple life—until a frigate sent by the King lands at their docks, and an officious captain steps down into the village in search of smugglers. As the captain and his crew investigate the tiny town of Dymchurch, the village is struck by a string of mysterious murders, and the king’s men soon find themselves embroiled in a dark conspiracy. The town and its quirky inhabitants may not be all that they seem. Russell Thorndike turned to fiction writing after serving in World War I. Doctor Syn is the first in his series of thirteen novels featuring the titular character, though chronologically, the events in this novel are the epilogue to the series. This book is part of the Standard Ebooks project, which produces free public domain ebooks.

"Doctor Syn: A Smuggler Tale of Romney Marsh" is an adventure tale featuring Reverend Doctor Christopher Syn, a kindly vicar of the little village of Dymchurch on Romney Marsh, the area notorious for liquor-smuggling. When tax and revenue officers arrive in the village, being on the trail of the culprits, they find a village of apparently honest, pious and simple folk, looked after benevolently by their philanthropic vicar Doctor Syn. However, it turns out that Syn is in fact the leader of the smugglers of the parish, using his cover as a man of the cloth to run a profitable ring whose dividends are used to better the lives of the local community.
Dr Syn though he had escpaed from his piratical past, surviving shipwreck and death, he had been reinstated as Vicar of Dymchurch. But, he was discovered by Mipps, an old pirate.
