AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Set on the coast, Sinclair visits a small township in pursuit of a close friend and fellow detective who had disappeared while on the track of a thief absconded from Melbourne. His body is found and suspicion points to the absconder (not buried in the grave that bears his name) and his sister but they disappear from the region. Only in 1865 is the explanation found - involving the absconder's younger and mentally impaired brother. (PB)
