In a richly evoked setting of 1880s Australia, an anonymous passenger in a horse-drawn cab is found dead. When a prominent citizen is accused but refuses to provide an alibi, a lawyer and detective unite to discover the truth. This ingeniously plotted, fast-paced thriller was the bestselling mystery novel of the Victorian era and is reputed to have inspired the creation of Sherlock Holmes.
