"The White Maniac: A Doctor’s Tale" is really well done enjoyable story. If I had been living in Australia at the time I would have been an eager reader of her work. The lead character and narrator of the story, set in London, is a rich young doctor, very highly regarded for his skills and his discretion. One day he is out and about and he sees a man getting out of a carriage, all dressed in white. His actions are odd and mysterious so the doctor investigates a bit and finds he lives in an all white house. He begins to take an interest in the strange man, a foreigner of some undisclosed sort, and one day he sees him out in town wear a dark outfit but when he follows him home he notices the man changes his clothes inside the carriage to all white. He talks to the man's driver and he tells him inside the house the only color is white. He wants to know why.
