Summary: "The Secret Adversary" by Agatha Christie is a mystery novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around two young adventurers, Tommy Beresford and Tuppence Cowley, who are seeking employment in post-World War I England. Their desire for adventure leads them to form a partnership and pursue a mysterious case involving a girl named Jane Finn, who is tied to critical wartime documents that have mysterious implications. At the start of the book, we encounter a dramatic prologue set aboard the doomed RMS Lusitania, where an American girl is entrusted with vital papers by a panicked man just before the ship is torpedoed. The narrative then shifts to Tommy and Tuppence, who reunite after their war service. They both seek opportunities for work but struggle with financial pressures. Their chance conversation leads to the formation of "The Young Adventurers, Ltd.", as they place an advertisement in search of employment that will allow them to earn money and, hopefully, excitement in their lives. The introduction presents a blend of intriguing characters and a sense of purpose, hinting at the adventurous plotlines to come as they navigate espionage and the search for Jane Finn.
