Summary "The Malefactor" by E. Phillips Oppenheim is a novel written during the early 20th century. The book centers around the themes of personal redemption and societal scandal, exploring the complexities of morality, vengeance, and the human condition through the perspectives of two men: Lovell, who tells the story of another man’s downfall, and Sir Wingrave Seton, a man recently released from prison. Through these characters, the narrative probes the intricate relationships that arise from betrayal and the consequences of past actions. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Lovell during a farewell gathering at a club as he prepares to depart for the Far East as a war correspondent. He recounts a tragic tale from his past about Sir Wingrave Seton, who was imprisoned for manslaughter tied to a scandal involving a love triangle. As Lovell shares the intricate details of Wingrave's story, we see the impact of Lady Ruth—the woman at the center of the scandal—on the lives of all involved. The opening effectively establishes the backdrop for a larger inquiry into justice, retribution, and the personal narratives that drive the characters' motivations, setting the tone for the intrigue that unfolds throughout the novel.
