Summary "The de Bercy Affair" by Gordon Holmes is a fictional murder mystery written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the tragic death of Mademoiselle de Bercy, a popular French actress, and the subsequent investigation led by Chief Inspector Winter and his colleague Inspector Clarke. As the narrative unfolds, suspicions are raised about various characters, including American millionaire Rupert Osborne, who was romantically linked to the deceased. The opening portion of the novel introduces readers to the tense atmosphere at New Scotland Yard, where Chief Inspector Winter is preoccupied with the disappearance of Inspector Furneaux and the investigation into the brutal murder. The details surrounding Mademoiselle de Bercy's death are chilling, as her body is discovered by a distressed housemaid, with signs of a violent struggle. Notably, a stone tool, which is later central to the investigation, is found at the crime scene. As the narrative progresses, various leads are explored, highlighting the complexities of the case and setting the stage for deeper investigations into the actress’s past and the people connected to her, including the mysterious Anarchists on the loose. The intricate plot is established early, ensuring the reader's intrigue as they anticipate the revelation of the murderer and their motives. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
