Synopsis: "Set in 1840, Anne Rodway is a poor 'plain needlewoman' whose friend and fellow lodger, Mary Mallinson, is brought home mortally wounded by a blow to the head. Anne follows the clue of a torn cravat clutched in her dying friend's hand and sets out to discover the murderer. She is assisted by her fiancee, Robert, who has just returned from America and they bring to justice Noah Truscott, the perpetrator of the crime."—Wilkie Collins Information Pages
