| Summary | "The Monk of Hambleton" by Armstrong Livingston is a mystery novel written in the late 1920s. The story opens in the town of Hambleton, where workers at the local tannery are embroiled in a strike against their ruthless employer, Simon Varr. The narrative encapsulates themes of social justice, with the upcoming confrontation between the striking workers and Varr, as well as hints of a mysterious figure—a monk—whose presence seems to foretell calamity. At the start of the tale, readers are introduced to the setting of the tannery and its striking workers. Tensions mount as Charlie Maxon, one of the strikers, expresses his determination to resist the oppressive treatment from Simon Varr, who is shown to be a domineering leader unconcerned with the well-being of his employees. The opening chapter culminates in a troubling confrontation as Varr's disdain for the workers and the precarious circumstances surrounding them are brought to a head, while at the same time, a mysterious and unnerving figure, shrouded in a monk's robe, emerges, hinting at deeper, perhaps supernatural, complications to come.
