AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Sinclair is sent to the farthest outback station with despatches. On his way an old man's apparition visits him demanding justice. At the station he discovers the policeman Frouth and the landlord of the nearby 'inn' have killed the old man for his gold. Sinclair solves the crime with the aid of an honest traveller and the old man's daughter who feigns madness. Odd conclusion where the stolen gold is hidden secretly underground. (PB)
