Summary "A Traitor in London" by Fergus Hume is a mystery novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Captain Harold Burton, who is embroiled in a complex web of love, inheritance, and political machinations as he seeks to marry Brenda Scarse against the wishes of his cousin Gilbert Malet, the trustee of his inheritance. Tensions rise as Harold navigates familial obligations, political loyalties, and mysterious events that lead to a murder in their seemingly quiet village. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to the fiery confrontation between Harold and Gilbert regarding Harold's intention to marry Brenda, with Gilbert ultimately withholding his promised financial support. Following this tumultuous exchange, Harold embarks on a secret meeting with Brenda in the woods, where the mood quickly darkens with a brewing storm. Peculiar occurrences and ominous foreshadowing lead to the revelation of a gunshot and a dead body later identified as Gilbert Malet, which thrusts Harold and Brenda into a perilous situation laced with intrigue and danger. As secrets unfold, unsettling connections to Brenda's father emerge, hinting at deeper conflicts that may jeopardize their future together. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
