AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Fratricide on a beautifully drained Victorian farm when a younger brother learns he is illegitemate and has no claim on his older brother's property to enable him to marry. Both love the same woman but when she marries the younger brother, though unaware of the murder, her happiness is disturbed by a ghost. Her father helps uncover the mystery and takes her home, leaving her husband to suicide. Includes a faithful dog and an untrustworthy murderous farmhand. (PB)
