"The Midnight Passenger: A Novel" by Richard Henry Savage is a fictional work likely written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Randall Clayton, a young man navigating life in New York City while managing significant financial responsibilities linked to the Western Trading Company. As he carries out his duties, he becomes captivated by a mysterious woman, which complicates his professional and personal life amidst hidden dangers and potential treachery. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to Clayton’s daily routine as he prepares to make a significant bank deposit, accompanied by a growing sense of monotony and yearning for the wilderness of his Western roots. His life takes an unexpected turn when he sees a beautiful woman, Fräulein Irma Gluyas, as she glides past him, igniting feelings he has long suppressed. The narrative unfolds with a mix of admiration and intrigue, showcasing Clayton's isolation in the bustling city and hinting at a possible romantic entanglement. The opening chapters also introduce a subplot involving espionage and deception orchestrated by other characters, particularly relating to Clayton's financial dealings and the looming presence of danger as he becomes the target of sinister plots.
