AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Account of a Victorian detective's first love in Melbourne in the early 1870s during a rash of burglaries. A robbery from Sir George Bellairs mansion in St Kilda leads to the tale of a family heirloom ring; a night at the opera with Madame Pericole singing and a lady in the audience who Clarke is quickly enamoured of; a Frenchman and his wife's flight from a Toorak hotel; and an arrest on a ship is revealed as a youth in disguise. Lightly and well-written. (PB)
