As Macdonald delves deeper into the mystery, he becomes entangled in a web of deceit and danger that threatens to consume him. The Black Hole of Glenranald is a thrilling tale of suspense and intrigue that will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very end.And it seemed that the knighthood of the up-country road had been an extinct order from the extirpation of the Kellys to the appearance of this same Stingaree, who was reported a man of birth and mystery, with an ostentatious passion for music and as romantic a method as that of any highwayman of the Old World from which he hailed. But the callow Fergus had been spared the romantic temperament, and was less impressed than entertained with what he heard.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
