AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Murder is committed by a spendthrift discontented Victorian country trooper who wants a hawker's gold to pay his passage money back to England - money his sister refuses to pay on behalf of his poor, dying mother. A shearer's evidence, a life-preserver as murder weapon and a head trooper's suspicions conclude the tale. (PB)
