| Summary | "The Riddle of the Mysterious Light" by Mary E. and Thomas W. Hanshew is a mystery novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Superintendent Maverick Narkom of Scotland Yard and his brilliant ally, Hamilton Cleek, as they unravel a bizarre series of events in a haunted village, where supernatural occurrences intertwine with crimes—strange lights, unsolved disappearances, and unexplained deaths punctuate the eerie atmosphere. The opening of the book introduces a sense of tranquility in London which is abruptly shattered when Narkom receives a distressing call about a mysterious case in Valehampton. As he prepares for the arrival of Cleek, an unexpected twist occurs—Narkom realizes that Cleek is missing and has been captured by a gang of Apaches. The urgency of the situation escalates as Narkom rushes to save his friend, delving into the depths of the plot that includes the supernatural elements that plague the village. This initial chapter establishes a suspenseful tone, setting the stage for the intricate mystery that ensues while highlighting the deep camaraderie between Narkom and Cleek.
