AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A murder of a titled Englishman settled in Melbourne with his mother, brother and servants at a Toorak Ball to celebrate his engagement is solved by Sinclair. Neither the fiancee nor her brother - incensed by the victim's claim to the title actually held by his older brother - are responsible. A beautiful family servant. 10 years older than the victim, has killed him rather than see him wed another. (PB)
