AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Vice-regal setting in early colonial days. Inspector Dunn disguised as the nephew of a friend of the Governor investigates thefts from the Governor's office. He discovers a pleasure-loving son and a repressed daughter closely watched by a dragon of a chaperone. The daughter's love for a groom and her engagement to an old man explain much. Many references to class and status. (PB)
