Miser Farebrother: A Novel (vol. 3 of 3)

A domestic crisis unfolds when a trusted servant is accused by his parsimonious employer of stealing a valuable diamond bracelet, prompting threats of police exposure and legal action. The accused and his devoted mother race to recover the jewel while friends, rivals, and rescuers become entangled in investigations, an inquest, and a public trial that reveal secret transactions and disappearances. Episodes of peril and daring — including experiments, clandestine searches, and a violent life-and-death struggle — test loyalties and courage. The plot culminates in vindication efforts, personal reckonings, and the settling of romantic attachments and departures.
