Project Gutenberg 1999-10-01 Public domain in the USA. 90 MacGrath, Harold 1871 1932 The Drums of Jeopardy Produced by An Anonymous Project Gutenberg Volunteer, and David Widger "The Drums of Jeopardy" by Harold MacGrath is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in the context of a post-war America and follows John Hawksley, a mysterious Englishman whose arrival in Albany is marked by tension and danger. As he attempts to navigate a web of threats and intrusions, the narrative hints at themes of pursuit and survival, interwoven with elements of intrigue and criminality. The opening of the novel introduces a fog-shrouded Albany, where Hawksley narrowly escapes a determined pursuer after a turbulent train journey. As he checks into a hotel, the lurking presence of danger becomes palpable, especially after a second man, ominously referred to as "Quasimodo," begins to track him. In a frantic situation, the tension escalates into a physical confrontation that leaves one antagonist incapacitated, ultimately setting the stage for personal conflict and deeper revelations about Hawksley’s past and present. Meanwhile, Kitty Conover, a strong-willed newspaper assistant, is drawn into the unfolding drama, suggesting a potential alliance and intertwining of their fates in the larger narrative.
