| Summary | "The Riddle and the Ring; or, Won by Nerve" by Gordon MacLaren is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Barry Lawrence, a man recently down on his luck who encounters a mysterious stranger offering him a considerable sum of money in exchange for fulfilling some seemingly simple yet intriguing conditions. As the plot unfolds, readers can anticipate a blend of suspense, exploration of human nature, and the impact of chance on life. At the start of the narrative, Lawrence grapples with his dire circumstances in a Pennsylvania train station, feeling the weight of previous persecutions and his current impoverished state. His life takes an unexpected turn when he meets a little man in black who proposes an amazing offer: a thousand dollars for a week of dining and dressing in high society. This proposition stirs both hope and skepticism in Lawrence, but the allure of regaining his former life prompts him to accept. The opening sets up a thrilling exploration of what this peculiar deal might lead to, alongside hints of danger encompassing Lawrence’s newfound fortune.
