AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Victorian country policeman/mounted trooper William Regan is so angered by the refusal of his proposal by the widow Knights that he threatens her with revenge. She is found murdered and he is suspected - along with her son-in-law he is thought to have the best motive. But a swagman's evidence and a marked banknote solve the case. (PB)
