E-text prepared by Darleen Dove, Mary Meehan, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team
"The Gray Mask" by Wadsworth Camp is a novel written in the early 20th century. It follows the story of Garth, a young detective working at a police bureau, who is thrust into a dangerous undercover operation involving a faceless criminal known as Simmons and an elusive gang led by the notorious Hennion. The plot intertwines themes of crime, deception, and a love interest that complicates Garth's dangerous assignments. The opening of the book introduces Garth as he receives a summons from his superior, the inspector, who tasks him with a high-stakes mission that involves impersonating Simmons, a man infamous for wearing a gray mask to conceal his horrific facial injuries. The inspector reveals that Simmons is expected to meet with the Hennion gang, and Garth must step into this perilous role to gather intelligence. Meanwhile, an emotional undercurrent develops as Garth’s relationships, particularly with Nora, the inspector's daughter, surface, highlighting personal stakes against the backdrop of his dangerous job. The scene sets the stage for a tense narrative packed with intrigue and potential romantic conflict. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
