| Summary | "The Voice on the Wire" by Eustace Hale Ball is a detective novel that seems to have been written in the early 20th century. The narrative introduces us to Montague Shirley, a well-connected and skilled criminologist, who is drawn into a complex case involving a string of mysterious deaths linked to a wealthy family and a chorus girl. As the story unfolds, Shirley partners with Captain Cronin, a seasoned detective, navigating through an intricate web of deception, crime, and possibly even murder. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Captain Cronin, who, during a meeting in a classy club, shares his troubling investigation into the death of a wealthy man, which appears connected to a pattern of similar unfortunate incidents. The tension escalates when Shirley receives a cryptic phone call hinting at a third victim, raising the stakes. The opening chapters set up a fast-paced narrative, filled with suspense and engaging dialogue as Shirley prepares to delve deeper into the case. As he begins to trace leads and connect dots amid various characters involved in the mystery, the reader is left intrigued by the unfolding layers of the case and Shirley's clever approach to solving it.
