AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A thief returns to the site where he hid the proceeds of a bank robbery years before. He has been long awaited by the detective of the case who is obsessed with claiming the reward for discovery of the gold for his little daughter Nellie, and has a small observatory and telescope to watch the site. Drugged spirits and the little girl's murder follow, and the thief's own drowning. (PB)
