Narrative of revenge set in England. A shopman dismissed from his job and tried for theft determines upon revenge - which begins with causing his former employer's bankruptcy and finally has him hanged for a theft of which he was innocent. The criminal confesses after his own sentence of execution and implicates his implacable judge in the miscarriage of justice. Realist narrative, with detail predominating over style. (PB)
