Conway made a huge hit with his thriller Called Back (1884) and two more similar short titles for Arrowsmith's Christmas Annual/Bristol Library series. In the last year of his life he also produced three full-length, three-decker novels: A Family Affair (1885), A Cardinal Sin (1886) and Living or Dead (1886), all published posthumously. A Family Affair is still in part a thriller (there is an exciting climax on a speeding train), but is more expansive than the briefer, earlier titles.
