A 1900 mystery by Anna Katharine Green centers on Agatha Webb and a web of secrets. The novel follows investigator Ebenezer Gryce as clues unfold in a small town, revealing motives, betrayals, and a chilling murder plot.
A lengthy synopsis recalls Agatha Webb murder near a mansion after a morning ball. Frederick Sutherland flees, Philemon Webb is jailed as killer, and Amabel Page pressures him with a likely motive. Discovered truths include a hidden fortune, a hollow tree stash, and a tragic family secret detailing inherited wealth, murder, and a key to a final confession.
Frederick exposes the dying mother’s confession and the Zabel brothers drama, detailing how a dagger, a plea for trust, and a hidden inheritance entangle John and James Zabel, Agnes, Amabel Page, and Agatha Webb in a tense courtroom scene.
Reminiscences detail Major Ross and a York battalion in the Keowee campaign against the Cherokee, including Susan Parris’s daring rescue attempt, St Pierre’s charge and death, brutal combat, and the capture and brutal death of Mrs Height, leading to a later peace and land cession.
