Summary "The Strange Schemes of Randolph Mason" by Melville Davisson Post is a collection of legal-themed short stories written in the late 19th century. The stories revolve around the central character, Randolph Mason, a cunning and morally ambiguous lawyer who cleverly exploits the loopholes of the law to achieve his ends. It promises readers a blend of suspense, drama, and intellectual puzzles that challenge both the characters and the audience's understanding of justice. The opening of the book introduces readers to the enigmatic character of Randolph Mason through a conversation among members of a club who discuss his peculiar manner and intellect. Mason is depicted as a brilliant strategist who has returned to New York after a mysterious absence, drawing intrigue and admiration from those around him. Two members, Samuel Walcott and Marshall St. Clair, highlight Mason's exceptional legal skills that have allowed him to craft ingenious defenses for his clients. As they ponder over Mason's past notable achievements, the narrative sets the stage for his involvement in complex legal situations and ethical dilemmas, hinting at the dark and thrilling explorations of crime and justice that await in the ensuing stories.
