The Green Rust by Edgar Wallace
"The Green Rust" by Edgar Wallace is a mystery novel written in the early 20th century. The story begins with a dying millionaire, John Millinborn, revealing a dark secret involving his family and the hereditary curse that follows his lost niece, Oliva Prédeaux. As the narrative unfolds, we encounter various characters entangled in a web of intrigue, including Millinborn's trusted lawyer, James Kitson, and a mysterious and unsavory figure who seems to
have sinister intentions. The opening of the book introduces the tension between life and death as Millinborn imparts critical information about his niece to Kitson, hinting at a hidden danger surrounding her inheritance. The lawyer's concern deepens when he encounters a strange man in the woods, suggesting foreboding forces at play. As Kitson rushes to fulfill the dying man's wishes, the suspense builds, planting seeds for future conflict and mystery. The initial chapters set the stage for an engaging narrative filled with secrets, and potential threats to Oliva's safety, indicating a complex plot that will likely blend elements of crime with familial drama.
