Fred Barber

The Flycatcher Fred Barber

The story revolves around wealthy New England family members living near the seashore. There are strange break-in attempts, noises, a murder, a suspected murder, and a frantic fleeing to Brazil. The story has a short historical sequence setting the lifestyle of the family going back before the American Revolution. Also has an interesting turn in the somewhat dubious rehabilitation of a prisoner who had been given a life sentence, but an unexpected turn of events and a new Judge, places him back into the world on parole. He is somewhat re-deemed. There is a bit of romance and a success of sorts.
