Summary "Decidedly Odd" by Edwin Balmer and William MacHarg is a psychological mystery novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around themes of love, betrayal, and the complexities of human emotions as they intertwine with revolutionary ideals. It explores the impact of a mysterious figure referred to as the “hammering man” on the life of a young woman named Eva Silber, ultimately leading to a complex investigation into her past and her family’s connections to political upheaval. The plot centers on psychologist Luther Trant, who is drawn into the tumultuous affair of Winton Edwards, whose fiancé, Eva Silber, abruptly leaves him after a stranger’s visit. The narrative unfolds as Trant investigates the significance of a cryptic advertisement and the influence of the mysterious man on Eva, delving deeper into her family’s revolutionary history in Russia. As Trant uncovers secrets, he exposes the true identity of the hammering man, revealing a connection to Eva's father and a hidden political agenda, which leads to a confrontation with the forces that seek to manipulate her destiny. The intertwining of psychological analysis with thrilling narrative elements culminates in a compelling exploration of personal agency and the fight for freedom against oppressive forces.
