- catalog abstract ""London, circa 1880: a lovelorn policeman, a pocket knife, and the unsolved crime of a young husband, murdered on his honeymoon." "Narrated as the deathbed confession of a London policeman, Who Killed Zebedee? exposes the seamier side of Victorian Britain: a realm of cheap hotels, underpaid servants and desperate measures. With a policeman as his narrator, and a female cook as the detective's accomplice, Collins places the world of lower-middle-class England at the centre of his fiction. The accompanying tale, John Jago's Ghost, set in America, portrays with similar empathy the hard-working lives of New England farmers. Both a historic record of life in rural America, and a courtroom drama with an exciting twist, John Jago's Ghost examines the rivalry between two men for the control of Morwick Farm and the love of a pretty girl."--Jacket.".
