Summary "Thieves' Wit: An Everyday Detective Story" by Hulbert Footner is a detective novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces B. Enderby, a struggling confidential investigator who unexpectedly steps into his first case after a famous actress, Irma Hamerton, contacts him regarding her missing pearl necklace. As an ordinary man thrust into the world of crime and deception, Enderby navigates the complexities of human emotions and motivations while attempting to uncover the truth behind the theft. The opening of the story sets the stage for Enderby's journey as he reflects on his transition from an unfulfilled clerk to a detective. Following an unexpected encounter with Hamerton, who is distraught over her stolen pearls, he is drawn into a web of intrigue and potential romantic entanglement. As he learns about the complexities of her life and the circumstances surrounding the theft, Enderby grapples with self-doubt and the challenge of balancing his role as a detective and a confidant to an emotionally vulnerable client. This blend of detection, emotional depth, and the allure of the theatrical world promises an engaging narrative that explores themes of trust, deception, and the search for truth.
