Summary "The Black Star: A Detective Story" by Johnston McCulley is a detective novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Roger Verbeck, a clever and adventurous man determined to outwit a notorious criminal known as the Black Star. As Verbeck embarks on a series of thrilling encounters with the criminal, the narrative unfolds a mystery filled with tension and intrigue related to heists and a secretive gang. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Roger Verbeck as he wakes in the middle of the night sensing an intruder in his apartment. He confronts a burglar, who unexpectedly reveals that he is connected to the Black Star—a master thief who has eluded the police for months. The opening chapters establish a cat-and-mouse game between Verbeck and the Black Star, as Verbeck resolves to capture the criminal and his gang. This quest leads to a deeper exploration of the criminal underworld and unexpected twists, setting the tone for a gripping detective story full of clever plots and daring escapades.
