Summary "The Sack of Monte Carlo: An Adventure of To-day" by Walter Frith is a fictional novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Vincent Blacker, a Lieutenant in the H.M. Militia, who devises an outrageous plan to raid the gambling tables at the iconic Monte Carlo casino. Motivated by love, particularly his desire to win back his wife’s family estate for her, Blacker enlists the help of various colorful characters while grappling with the moral implications of their reckless scheme. At the start of the novel, Vincent Blacker shares the inception of his bold idea while lounging in bed one morning. He explains the motivations behind the planned heist, including the substantial amount of money believed to be present at Monte Carlo and his desire to see the wealth redistributed to charitable causes. As he introduces his past with Lucy Thatcher, his love interest, and their intertwined fates, he sets the stage for the upcoming adventure with hints of camaraderie and mischief. The beginning establishes a lighthearted, yet daring tone as Blacker prepares to assemble his crew and embark on what could be a disastrous yet thrilling escapade.
