"Peter the Brazen: A Mystery Story of Modern China" by George F. Worts is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Peter Moore, a skilled wireless operator, as he navigates the intrigues and dangers of 1910s China. The narrative intertwines elements of adventure, mystique, and peril, as Peter becomes embroiled in complex relationships, secretive communications, and potential threats to his life. At the start of the novel, we meet Peter Moore, who is depicted as a talented wireless operator with a unique ability to catch signals others cannot. His life takes a turn after he resigns from his position on the "Vandalia", seeking adventure in China. As he navigates the bustling streets of Chinatown, he encounters enigmatic figures, including a mysterious Chinese woman and Ching Gow Ong, a key player in the silk trade. The looming danger of a kidnapping plot unfolds, beginning with Peter receiving cryptic messages and warnings, which sets the stage for a gripping exploration of entanglements in a perilous world of secrets and hazardous alliances.
