A prison governor takes in the infant daughter of a woman he has just seen hanged for murder, raises her with his own child, and tells neither which is which — then watches for the inheritance to show. Collins invented the detective novel with The Moonstone; this late book of 1888 is his attack on the fashionable science of criminal heredity, and the experiment is conducted on the reader as much as on the girls.
