AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Set in a large Australian town, not in Victoria, the tale of a lodging-house murder. A detective in the guise of a peddler, a hard-pressed landlady, a short-tempered printer and a nervous ageing colonel are the main characters. A mysterious house across the road, and a pair of family connections complete the picture. Drugged alcohol and a suicide at an inquest follows. (PB)
