Summary "In White Raiment" by William Le Queux is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story begins with Dr. Richard Colkirk, a medical practitioner in London, who embarks on a startling journey that intertwines his professional life with a web of mystery and moral dilemmas. The narrative hints at themes of deception, human suffering, and the complexities of relationships, suggesting that the protagonist will face significant challenges. The opening portion presents Dr. Colkirk reflecting on his previously unremarkable career and the struggles he's faced, ultimately leading to his return to London after a disheartening experience. Before long, he is drawn into a peculiar situation involving a wealthy man's dying daughter, Beryl Wynd. The father makes a shocking proposition to the doctor: to pretend to be Beryl's lover and marry her in her final moments, offering a hefty sum for his compliance. As the plot unfolds, Colkirk grapples with ethical conflicts and dark secrets surrounding Beryl's condition, foreshadowing the tense and dramatic events that will follow.
