Summary |
"The Romance of Elaine" by Arthur B. Reeve is a detective novel likely written during the early 20th century. The narrative follows the characters Elaine and Craig Kennedy as they navigate a dangerous web of intrigue involving a master criminal and hidden treasure, all while dealing with the psychological strain of past events and the implications of newfound mysteries. At the start of the novel, Elaine, feeling secure after being rescued from the threat posed by the double life of a criminal lawyer, seeks solace at the home of her former caretaker, Aunt Tabby. However, her peaceful recuperation is disrupted by strange noises in the night that lead her to suspect supernatural disturbances. Simultaneously, Kennedy, alongside his companion, is investigating the lawyer's papers and stumbles upon a perplexing piece of blank paper that reveals a hidden architectural drawing when treated with heat. With Elaine dealing with mysterious occurrences tied to the past and Kennedy unraveling clues of stolen treasure, the opening sets the stage for a thrilling pursuit of answers amidst danger.
