Summary "The Lure of the Mask" by Harold MacGrath is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds during a cold January night in New York City, where the main character, John Hillard, becomes enchanted by the mysterious voice of a woman singing outside his window. Intrigued and yearning to discover who she is, Hillard’s adventure spirals into a charming exploration of romance, identity, and the allure of the unknown. At the start of the novel, Hillard hears an alluring soprano voice singing a forgotten aria from a light opera, sparking his curiosity and drawing him into the foggy New York streets in search of the singer. After a chance interaction with a police officer, he learns of the mysterious woman known as Leddy Lightfinger, rumored to be a thief, which adds another layer to his adventure. The narrative introduces Hillard’s inner thoughts on loneliness and ambition, setting the stage for his budding desire to connect with the woman behind the voice. This opening establishes a whimsical yet sophisticated tone, promising a delightful romance wrapped in layers of mystery that will resonate with readers who enjoy character-driven stories about the connections formed through music and chance encounters.
