| Summary | "The Wrong Letter" by Walter S. Masterman is a detective mystery written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Superintendent Sinclair and amateur detective Sylvester Collins as they unravel the shocking murder of the Home Secretary, Sir James Watson. As they delve into the complexity of the case, they encounter intriguing characters and a masterfully woven plot that suggests deception and hidden motives abound. The opening of the narrative sets the stage for a gripping crime scene at Sir James's house, where Sinclair receives an unsettling phone call announcing the murder. Collins joins him as they investigate the circumstances surrounding the crime, revealing inconsistencies and mysteries such as a missing revolver and a potentially incriminating phone call. As they interrogate those connected to the victim, including the enigmatic housekeeper, Mrs. Simmons, and the suspicious private secretary Eric Sanders, they find themselves entangled in a puzzle that challenges their deductive skills and highlights the social and personal stakes enveloping the investigation. The initial chapters establish a tense atmosphere filled with intrigue and raise questions about trust, betrayal, and the nature of justice. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
