AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Sinclair and another Detective partial to roses jointly investigate the murder of an old man in his garden on the banks of the Yarra. His disinherited niece is a burglar's assistant, and the lover he had forbidden her to see a thief, but the evidence of a young street-boy, a former 'Herald' runner - points to the faithful old family servant. Detective rivalry included. (PB)
