Summary "The Plunderers: A Novel" by Edwin Lefevre is a fiction work written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around a series of unique and intriguing characters driven by their ambitions, culminating in a theft of substantial value involving a sophisticated swindle targeting New York's elite. The story explores themes of deception, desperation, and the complexities of human nature. The opening of the novel introduces the character of W. W. Lovell, who runs a mysterious advertisement for a bizarre job at the Acme Vibrator Company. This attracts a group of desperate men, one of whom, Lewis J. Wright, is selected for an unusual assignment that leads him to London. The narrative quickly shifts to illustrate how a counterfeit royal scheme involving Colonel Lowther and his associates unfolds, as they orchestrate an elaborate heist targeting New York's most prestigious jewelers. The tension builds around the impending theft, revealing character traits and motives that hint at the potential consequences of their recklessness. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
