Summary "The Best Man" by Harold MacGrath is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Carrington, a determined young lawyer, who grapples with a moral dilemma when he discovers evidence of fraud committed by the powerful millionaire Henry Cavenaugh, who also happens to be the father of the woman Carrington loves. The novel explores themes of duty, integrity, and the struggles of love intertwined with social and ethical responsibilities. The opening of the novel introduces Carrington as he reflects on his discovery of Cavenaugh's fraudulent activities, which threaten the financial security of countless investors. Carrington finds himself torn between his affection for Kate Cavenaugh and his obligation to seek justice for those wronged by her father's greed. As he prepares to confront Kate about the situation, he contemplates how to reveal the truth without destroying her trust and happiness. This initial conflict sets the stage for a deeper exploration of personal integrity versus societal obligations, and the complexities of love in the face of moral challenges.
