Fergus Hume [1859–1932]
Madame Midas [1888]

A melodramatic mystery, set in Melbourne and the Australian gold-mines. The evil anti-hero poisons people, ruins young girls and is generally despicable. But will he be unmasked? Or will an innocent young woman be found guilty of his crimes?

(The cover is a close-up of an Australian gold nugget.)
