Summary "The Brand of Silence: A Detective Story" by Harrington Strong is a detective novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Sidney Prale, a man who returns to New York after a decade of making a fortune in Honduras, only to find himself entangled in a murder investigation upon his arrival. As he seeks to clear his name, Prale is confronted by mysterious enemies and cryptic messages hinting at retribution for undisclosed past actions. The opening of the narrative sets a vivid scene as Prale arrives in New York, reflecting on the changes after his long absence. He briefly reconnects with an acquaintance from his voyage, Rufus Shepley, only to be met with unexpected hostility. Following this, Prale discovers that someone has rummaged through his belongings, leaving behind a foreboding note about inevitable retribution. As he attempts to navigate his new life and keep his money secure, he is drawn further into a web of suspicion, enemies, and deceit, leading to his shocking arrest for Shepley's murder. This gripping introduction invites readers to unravel the mysteries surrounding Prale's past and the dangers lurking in his return home. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
