| Summary | "The Gentleman Who Vanished: A Psychological Phantasy" by Fergus Hume is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book delves into themes of crime, morality, and psychological transformation, exploring the strife of its central character, Adrian Lancaster, who becomes embroiled in a deadly confrontation that leads him to commit murder. As he grapples with the consequences of his actions, his journey of self-discovery unfolds against a backdrop of occult mystery and the quest for redemption. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Adrian Lancaster, who, in a fit of rage during a card game, fatally injures his friend Philip Trevanna. Overwhelmed with guilt and fear of arrest, he escapes into the stormy night of London. Seeking refuge, Adrian stumbles upon the enigmatic Dr. Michael Roversmire, whose knowledge of the occult presents a bizarre opportunity for Adrian: to swap souls and bodies in order to evade justice and find a new life. As the two men’s fates intertwine, tension builds between their identities, love interests, and moral dilemmas in a richly atmospheric setting that promises a blend of psychological depth and suspenseful intrigue.
