'House by the Lock' Summary
Noel Stanton, a man drawn into a web of intrigue, finds himself embroiled in a complex mystery surrounding the 'House by the Lock.' He becomes convinced that the wealthy and enigmatic owner, Carson Wildred, is somehow linked to the disappearance of his friend, Harvey Farnham. However, as Stanton investigates, he learns that Farnham is safe and sound in the U.S. This revelation throws the investigation into disarray, forcing Stanton to focus on the house itself. The house, with its intricate design and concealed passageways, harbors a multitude of secrets. The peculiar construction, occasional smoke rising from inaccessible areas, and a series of unusual occurrences challenge Stanton's efforts to discern the truth. With each step closer to unraveling the mystery, Stanton faces perplexing situations, seemingly unrelated events, and an aura of suspicion that surrounds all those associated with the house. The narrative delves into the realm of secrets and deception, exposing the dark underbelly of seemingly ordinary lives. Stanton's persistent investigation leads him to confront a truth that is far more unsettling than he could have imagined, leaving the reader on the edge of their seat until the final revelation.Book Details
