Published in 1905, this well-done murder mystery was acclaimed by the New York Times Book Review. It begins with a queer and rich old woman found stabbed to death in her chair and not a clue to the murderer. Then so many clues turn up that even the story-book detective is bewildered.

One of the most popular mysteries in the nineteenth century, apparently even surpassing the sales of Sherlock Holmes books. This forgotten Australian melodrama should appeal to readers interested in the early development of the mystery story.
