About This Book

A man named Vane leaves urban life for a rugged coastal and bush environment, becomes involved in disputes over a proposed smelter and personal relationships, and undertakes a determined search that produces misadventure, perilous river and flood episodes, and confrontations with other characters including Jessie, Evelyn and Carroll. Intercepted correspondence, tests of loyalty, and gathering of testimony gradually clarify misunderstandings, lead to confession and contrition, and culminate in vindication and the reinstatement of his reputation.
