Synopsis

The Hon. Charles Stuart, the heir apparent to the Earl of Belcannon in Scotland emigrates to the Colonies of Australia when Ian Flint, a school friend of his, insults his sister, resulting in them fighting a duel. Ian vows revenge.

Charles joins the Victorian Mounted Police Force, enjoys a successful career, marries and becomes a father.

Ian Flint also travels to New South Wales and becomes one of the notorious Highwaymen bushrangers. When the robbers split, Ian returns to Scotland and becomes a highwayman again. However, his career there is short-lived.

Charles and his family return to Scotland after his mother dies. He takes on the mantel of Earl and stays in Scotland after his father is killed accidentally by a rogue stallion.

The action in this novel is fast and entertaining.

Some of Charles' police actions are stories based broadly on true colony crimes. This is another book of colourful stories of the Australian colonial era from a talented author.
