| Summary | "Annihilation" by Isabel Ostrander is a mystery novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces ex-policeman Timothy McCarty, who finds himself drawn back into the world of crime investigation when he witnesses a mysterious death of a man along the waterfront in a poor district. As McCarty becomes entangled in the inquiry, the book explores themes of deception, crime, and the impact of past choices on the present. The opening of "Annihilation" sets a grim scene as McCarty encounters a man who has collapsed in the rain. Despite his defection from the police force, the adrenaline of the investigation ignites his old instincts. After confirming the man is dead, McCarty discovers peculiarities in the deceased man’s clothing and belongings, leading him to suspect foul play. As he recounts the evening's events to his friend Dennis Riordan, they delve into deeper questions about the man's identity, motives, and relationships, sparking a desire to solve the mystery surrounding his untimely death.
