AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A mansion in St Kilda is the scene for a late middle-aged gentleman's suspicions of his young wife as adultress and poisoner to drive him to madness. First he alters his will, then murders her and her servant Catherine (his forner mistress) before hanging himself. The original detective in this case is suspected of the crime and Mark Sinclair is called in to clear his name. (PB)
