| Summary | “Peter Ruff and the Double Four” by E. Phillips Oppenheim is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story introduces readers to the enigmatic Mr. Peter Ruff, who is not just another character in a mystery but rather a pivotal player tangled in the intricate web of crime and deception. As the plot unfolds, it hints at a thrilling and complex tale filled with suspense, perhaps involving crime investigation or detection, emphasizing Ruff's unusual talents and foreshadowing his unexpected adventures. The opening portion of the book introduces us to a seemingly mundane supper party at Daisy Villa, where the unsuspecting Barnes family hosts a dinner for their daughter’s suitor, Mr. Spencer Fitzgerald. However, the atmosphere quickly takes a dark turn with the entrance of the police, revealing that Fitzgerald is not who he seems. As he deceives the entire household with his polite demeanor, he makes a shocking escape, leaving the family in utter confusion. Transitioning from this scene, we glimpse into Fitzgerald’s secret dealings and connections with a mysterious woman named Violet, as he contemplates his new future as a private detective. This sets the stage for Peter Ruff's eventual emergence, blending elements of crime, intrigue, and the complexities of human relationships. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
