Summary "The Box with Broken Seals" by E. Phillips Oppenheim is a novel first published in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of World War I, the story follows two main characters, James Crawshay, an Englishman from the Secret Service, and his American companion Sam Hobson, who are embroiled in a high-stakes intrigue involving missing documents crucial to the war effort. Their adventure begins in a Chicago hotel, where the pair is anxiously awaiting a police chief to clarify the suspicious circumstances surrounding their mission. The opening portion of the novel introduces Crawshay and Hobson as they discuss the mysterious dispatch that led them to Chicago. As they await Chief Downs, their conversation reveals their doubts about the legitimacy of the dispatch and a man named Jocelyn Thew, who is mentioned as a potential obstacle. Concurrently, the narrative shifts briefly to introduce Miss Katharine Beverley, a nurse tied to a patient named Phillips, who is on board the ship they hope to intercept. As both parts of the story unfold, tensions rise regarding the true nature of their mission, setting the stage for a tale of deception, loyalty, and uncovering secrets that may have significant consequences for them all.
