Summary "The Woman of Mystery" by Georges Ohnet is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around themes of intrigue, political machinations, and the mysterious circumstances surrounding the death of a prominent general. The narrative is set against a backdrop of military and scientific endeavors, hinting at elements of suspense and potential betrayal. The opening of the novel introduces the Minister of War, who is in a state of agitation due to the mysterious explosion at the residence of General de Trémont, which resulted in his death. Colonel Vallenot reports to the Minister about the chaotic scene and strange findings, including a severed arm discovered amidst the ruins. As the investigation unfolds, various characters—including detectives and the General's loyal servant, Baudoin—converge around the sinister elements at play, implying that the tragedy may not have been a mere accident but rather a calculated crime involving espionage. Through this scene, the story sets a tone of intrigue that foreshadows the complex relationships and motivations that will be explored throughout the novel.
