A young doctor visits a Baron’s house. The house is very strange: everything is white, there isn't even one splash of colour. Why is it like that and how can someone can live in such a sterile surrounding? Why was the doctor invited there and what will he discover about its residents? This story will keep you on the edge of your seat until the last page, so if you want to solve the mystery, listen to Mary Fortune’s "The White Maniac: A Doctor's Tale".

Mary Fortune was an Australian author who lived in the period 1833-1911. Her works were of various genres as she wrote poetry, gothic, horror tales and detective stories. Mary Fortune was one of the first female detective writers and what is even more surprising is the fact that she wrote from the detective’s perspective. She gained wide popularity with "The Detective’s Album" which is the longest-running detective serial and published over forty years.
