Summary "The Lake Mystery" by Marvin Dana is a novel written in the early 20th century. This story revolves around a group of adventurers, led by Saxe Temple, who seek a hidden treasure left by an eccentric old miser named Horace Abernethey, who has died under mysterious circumstances. As they dive into a web of clues and personal rivalries, the themes of greed, loyalty, and the chase for riches come to the forefront. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to Horace Abernethey, a miser obsessed with his hoarded wealth and musical ambitions, who is preparing to reveal his hidden treasure in his will. The prologue paints a vivid picture of Abernethey's complex character as he indulges in melancholic music and plans his final actions with urgency. Following his death, Saxe Temple and his friends receive a letter detailing the condition of their quest for Abernethey’s fortune, which requires them to work together to uncover the treasure within a time limit. This opening portion sets the stage for a thrilling adventure, filled with diverse characters and potential betrayals, as different parties—including the deceased's mysterious secretary and a prospective heiress—enter the fray, enhancing the intrigue surrounding Abernethey's legacy.
