Title An Eye for an Eye

Summary "An Eye for an Eye" by William Le Queux is a mystery novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows Frank Urwin, a special reporter for a respectable London newspaper, and his friend Richard Cleugh, a sharp and unconventional journalist known as "the Mystery Man." Together, they delve into a series of strange events surrounding the sudden deaths of two individuals found in a lavish Kensington home, setting the stage for a tale filled with intrigue, romance, and hidden secrets. The opening of the novel introduces us to the context in which the mystery unfolds, as Urwin and Cleugh discuss a remarkable occurrence they believe is connected to two enigmatic deaths. After an unusual telegram summons Urwin to a police station, he learns of a baffling discovery made by Inspector Patterson—two deceased individuals in a setting that suggests more than just a tragic accident. The narrative is rich in detail, describing the characters' various backgrounds and personalities, as well as the atmosphere of journalistic life in London. As Urwin and Patterson explore the scene, they encounter baffling clues, including three mysterious cards and a strange liquid in a laboratory, hinting at darker undercurrents behind the apparent tragedy. The tension builds as the investigation spirals deeper into the realms of deception and hidden motives. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
