Melbourne detective tale of robbery, romance and impersonation. A clergyman is robbed of £500 given to him for charity and a detective comes to live with his family for several weeks to solve the crime. Fortune-telling and character assessment show that much is the reverse of what it seems: the governess and the rebellious step-son suspected; the light-hearted daughter and the English cousin she must marry to inherit a fortune apparently motiveless. Robbery and attempted murder follow ... Well written tale. (PB)
