About This Book

A consulting detective and his companion take up a young woman's complaint about unexplained gifts and her missing father, tracing clues that reveal a long-standing conspiracy over a hidden colonial-era treasure. The investigation unfolds through careful observation, informant interviews, a dramatic river pursuit, and a courtroom-style confession that exposes divided loyalties and betrayal among former conspirators. The narrative balances the immediate mystery with a detailed backstory that explains motives and consequences, while a parallel thread follows the companion's developing personal life and highlights the detective's deductive method and moral ambiguities surrounding justice and reparation.

Beyond the detective genre, Doyle wrote historical novels, science fiction, and plays, showcasing his versatility as a writer.
