| Summary | "The Lost Naval Papers" by Bennet Copplestone is a suspenseful novel set during the First World War, likely written in the early 20th century. The book centers around Richard Cary, a naval correspondent, who becomes embroiled in a scheme involving espionage and deception while working on a secret book about naval operations. His world is disrupted when he encounters the cold and calculating Scotland Yard officer William Dawson, who seeks Cary's assistance in a plot to trap enemy spies interested in capturing sensitive naval information. The opening of the story establishes Cary's professional background and his initial discomfort with Dawson's methods, presenting a stark contrast between the naive enthusiasm of Cary and the shrewd efficiency of the detective. As the narrative unfolds, Cary learns of the existence of valuable naval notes that could be exploited by the enemy, inadvertently putting himself in danger. The plot thickens as Dawson reveals his desire to ensnare a spy named Hagan by using Cary's fabricated notes as bait, setting the stage for a high-stakes game of cat and mouse. The details of this intricate plan, along with Cary's moral dilemmas, create a gripping narrative that combines elements of espionage with personal conflict, inviting readers into a world of intrigue and wartime anxieties.
