| Summary | "El Diablo" by Brayton Norton is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in a tense fishing community as Richard Gregory, the protagonist, embarks on a dangerous mission to uncover the secrets surrounding the mysterious Island of El Diablo. The book introduces a cast of characters, including fishermen and a strong-willed woman named Dickie Lang, as they confront corrupt practices and the struggles of their livelihoods against a backdrop of thrilling maritime adventure. At the start of the novel, Richard Gregory is awakened in the dead of night, compelled by a clandestine rendezvous with fellow fishermen to explore the treacherous waters surrounding the enigmatic El Diablo. Accompanied by his cohort Bill Lang, they navigate through dense fog toward what they suspect is a brewing scheme involving illegal fishing practices orchestrated by local criminals. Meanwhile, the narrative hints at deeper tensions as Gregory reflects on his absent son’s involvement and the risks they are taking against their adversaries. This opening sets the stage for a gripping tale of bravery, conflict, and a quest for justice in the dangerous realm of the sea. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
