Long shadows

"For many years, Robert Farrance has lived the respectable life of a man of property, and nobody knows that his present prosperity is founded upon his earlier life as a ruthless and determined bandit. When a figure from his past comes, appealing for his help, Farrance realizes that he owes a debt of honour to his former comrade and sets out to help the man secure his rights. Along the way, he helps break up a gang of coiners but triumph looks to turn to tragedy when Robert Farrance stands to lose all that he holds most precious."--Publisher description.
