| Summary |
"Bats in the Wall; or, The Mystery of Trinity Church-yard" by P. T. Raymond is a serialized mystery novel written in the late 19th century. The story begins with young Frank Mansfield seeking the hand of Edna Callister, but is rejected by her father, Elijah Callister, who blames Frank's past indiscretions. The narrative quickly turns dark as Frank is drawn into a mysterious plot involving a bank robbery and the suspicious disappearance of his mother, culminating in an exploration of deceit and betrayal amidst the backdrop of New York City. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Frank Mansfield, a bank clerk who has fallen from grace, both personally and financially. His love for Edna is met with disapproval from her father, who requires proof of Frank's financial stability before he’ll even consider allowing their union. Following a series of events, which include a meeting with a detective implicated in dubious dealings, Frank finds himself entangled in a conspiracy that leads to a robbery at the bank. The opening chapters set the stage for a gripping tale of intrigue, highlighting Frank's internal struggle and the precariousness of his situation, as he navigates the dangerous waters of crime and personal redemption.
