The story revolves around a lawyer named John Fenton, a man of good intentions but lacking in sharp intellect. He is drawn into the orbit of two delightful elderly sisters, Miss Flora and Miss Hetty, who run a boarding house. They are connected to a shadowy political club called The White Cat, a place of political influence and clandestine activities. John’s interest is piqued when a charming young woman, Gwen, enters the scene and becomes a pawn in a deadly game. As events unfold, John becomes entangled in a web of intrigue, deception, and danger. The White Cat, a place of secrets and political machinations, becomes the center of a series of mysterious incidents that threaten the lives of those involved. John, along with a sharp-witted detective named Lee and an experienced newspaperman, must navigate the treacherous waters of political intrigue and unravel a complex puzzle that involves murder, corruption, and a hidden conspiracy. Through twists and turns, the investigation leads them to uncover a sinister plot that seeks to exploit the vulnerabilities of those connected to The White Cat. As the truth gradually emerges, John is faced with a life-altering choice, one that will test his courage, his loyalty, and his determination to expose the darkness lurking within the walls of The White Cat.Book Details
