AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'[T]he narrator, a woman-social-columnist, discovers a mysterious girl-migrant from England dead in the home of one of Sydney's best families. The murder may be: the ageing head of the family; his beautiful, too-young, and too-roving-eyed second wife; his engaged daughter; her medical fiance; their interior-decorator friend; or the mysterious and handsome young man who sinisterly shadowed the victim when the narrator first saw her in a coffee sgop.'
