| Summary | "Inspector French's Greatest Case" by Freeman Wills Crofts is a detective novel written in the early 20th century. The story begins with the murder of Charles Gething, the chief clerk at a diamond merchant's office in London, setting the stage for an intricate investigation led by the methodical Inspector French. The novel explores themes of trust, deception, and the complexities of human motives, as French delves into the lives of the people involved, including the enigmatic Mr. Duke and the troubled clerk William Orchard. The opening of the novel introduces a grim setting on a dreary November night, where Constable Alcorn stumbles upon the scene of the crime. Gething's body is discovered slumped over an open safe, indicating foul play and robbery. The initial interactions reveal key characters, including young clerk William Orchard, who found the body, and Mr. Duke, the firm's partner who is frantic about his missing diamonds. Inspector French quickly takes charge of the investigation, gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, and beginning to untangle the web of mystery surrounding Gething's death and the stolen diamonds. This setup initiates an intricate detective story that promises to weave a captivating tale of intrigue and suspense. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
