"The Sign of Silence" by William Le Queux is a mystery novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Edward Royle, who finds himself embroiled in a perplexing situation involving his friend Sir Digby Kemsley, an engineer whose sudden disappearance coincides with the emergence of a young woman's murder. As Royle navigates through intrigue and potential betrayal, he faces personal doubts about those he loves, revealing themes of loyalty and suspicion. At the start of the novel, the protagonist, Edward Royle, shares a lunch with his beloved Phrida Shand in a posh London restaurant. They discuss Sir Digby Kemsley, who has mysteriously vanished, leading to concerns about his true identity after investigations reveal he may be an impostor. The narrative shifts as Royle learns of a brutal murder in Sir Digby's flat, connected to a hidden past involving love and deception. As tensions escalate, Royle grapples with his affection for Phrida and the implications of the unfolding mystery, foreshadowing deeper personal and relational conflicts in the story.
