The story revolves around a series of dramatic events triggered by the mysterious murder of a prominent young man named Henry Moreland. Set in a richly detailed American landscape, the narrative explores themes of love, loss, and the pursuit of justice, primarily through the experiences of the law student Richard Redfield, who is deeply affected by the tragic fate of Eleanor Argyll, Henry's fiancée. The opening of the book introduces us to the protagonist, Richard Redfield, who works in the Dead Letter office, a dull and monotonous place where letters that cannot be delivered are opened and cataloged. His routine is disrupted when he encounters a two-year-old letter addressed to "John Owen," which intrigues him. Shortly after, Richard attends a gathering at the Argyll residence, where he is drawn to Eleanor, Mr. Argyll's beautiful daughter. However, a sudden and violent storm leads to Henry Moreland's tragic murder on the way to this very gathering, which causes a profound ripple effect among the characters. The narrative sets up an urgent and suspenseful quest to uncover the truth behind the murder while navigating the tangled relationships between the characters, particularly Richard's unspoken love for Eleanor amidst the unfolding tragedy.
