The Magwitch Legacy

In this final book of the trilogy about Charles Dicken's character Abel Magwitch in "Great Expectations," the story is told of Olivia and her husband. Olivia is the daughter of a woman who was transported to Australia. That woman's story appears in "The Magwitch Effect." Now both Olivia and Phillip Gargery are looking forward to a quiet settled life with their son in their bookshop in Sydney. But they become involved with the nephew of John King, the only survivor of the ill-fated Burke and Wills Expedition, with exciting results. The fact that there is a plot hidden behind their trials adds to their difficulties. As in the other two books that precede this one, historical characters make their appearance.
