Long-lost manuscript becomes a Queensland First after 145 years. Faced with losing his centuries old family estate to debt, Tom Hurstbourne headed to colonial Australia to make his fortune. He had no idea that the Shrewsbury lawyer he left in charge of his affairs would snatch this chance to exact the ultimate revenge on Tom, the last of the Hurstbourne dynasty... Brisbane Editors, Gloria Grant and Gerard Benjamin, transcribed the manuscript and wrote its introduction and contextual notes.
