Title The Man Who Drove the Car
Credits Produced by Al Haines
Summary "The Man Who Drove the Car" by Max Pemberton is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is centered around Lal Britten, a cab driver who finds himself entwined in an unexpected series of events involving a mysterious gentleman and a host of eccentric characters. As the plot unfolds, Britten navigates through a night of peculiar encounters, including a surreal party and what appears to be a duel, revealing layers of social intrigue and dark humor. At the start of the book, we meet Lal Britten as he reflects on his experiences as a chauffeur, specifically recounting a night spent driving Fauny Dartel and encountering a charming, enigmatic nobleman, Lord Crossborough. This initial encounter sets the stage for a night filled with unexpected turns and considerable mystery. Britten’s curiosity is piqued when he's asked to drive Lord Crossborough to an all-night affair that spirals into a chaotic sequence, suggesting not just the ludicrousness of high society but also hinting at deeper troubles that will unfold. As the story progresses, the line between madness and social class starts to blur, leaving readers eager to discover the twists ahead. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
