Summary | "Mr. Fortune's Practice" by H. C. Bailey is a detective novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers on Mr. Reginald Fortune, a surgeon and amateur sleuth, who becomes embroiled in a series of complex cases involving sudden deaths and mysteries that defy easy explanations. With a sharp eye for detail and a knack for understanding human nature, Fortune navigates through various societal layers to uncover the truth behind each enigma. At the start of the novel, the scene is set during an Ascot Cup Day, where Mr. Fortune observes a curious case unfolding. He encounters Sir Arthur Dean, who mysteriously collapses and dies during the event. As the narrative progresses, it becomes evident to Fortune that foul play may be involved, as he suspects poisoning rather than a natural death. This incident introduces readers to the intrigue of deception and the undercurrents of human relationships, setting the stage for Fortune's analytic journey in solving not just this case, but the ensuing complex scenarios that arise within the social milieu he inhabits.
