AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Tale of romance, murder and revenge set in rural Victoria. A squatter's son rescues a young woman from a rough kidnapper and is threatened with a terrible revenge. The youth falls in love with her but before they are married finds himself falsely accused, tried and imprisoned for a murder he did not commit. Only his fiancee's loyalty and a good detective set him free and reveal the vengeful plot of the murderers. Mixed achievement; pace and plot uneven though well-conceived. Piety included in this tale of 'dark days'. (PB)
