| Summary | "Whispering Wires" by Henry Leverage is a mystery novel written in the late 1910s. The story unfolds in the bustling backdrop of New York City, revolving around the life of Detective Triggy Drew. As Drew is drawn into a high-stakes case of blackmail and impending doom, he faces increasingly complex threats that set the stage for intrigue and suspense. The opening of the story introduces readers to the luxurious mansion of Montgomery Stockbridge, a wealthy munitions magnate who has received a blackmail letter suggesting a sinister connection to his family and foreshadowing danger. Detective Drew is summarily called to investigate, and as he arrives at Stockbridge's home, the tension mounts with the impending threat against the magnate's life, hinted at through a mysterious phone call. When Drew discovers Stockbridge dead in the library, the narrative dives into unraveling the clues of a locked-room murder, layered with suspicion and urgency, making for a gripping start to the mystery.
