The disappearance of Bella Forbes from her father's house in a very wealthy Melbourne suburb reveals her hatred of her step-mother and the latter's strange relationship with the chemist Mr Brandon who is later found murdered. Bella is found again and the step-mother's bigamy exposed with the aid of a chemist's boy, Bill - who is more than he seems. A case of cross-dressing investigated by a private detective - a friend of government detective Sinclair. (PB)
