| Summary | "When the Sea Gives Up Its Dead: A Thrilling Detective Story" by Mrs. George Corbett is a detective novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Harley Riddell, a diamond merchant's manager who finds himself wrongfully accused of a significant theft. As Riddell grapples with the repercussions of the allegations against him, his innocent plight ignites the determination of his loved ones to unveil the true criminal and restore his name. The opening of the novel introduces Harley Riddell as he hurries to work, only to be met with an unusual level of tension upon his arrival. Much to his shock, he learns that a substantial theft has occurred, and the evidence points to him as the prime suspect. His protestations of innocence are met with suspicion from his employers and authorities, setting the stage for a profound sense of injustice. The narrative quickly shifts to the reactions and efforts of his family and fiancée, Annie Cory, who vow to uncover the truth behind the robbery and clear Harley's name amidst the unfolding mystery. This gripping beginning establishes the stakes and motivations that will propel the characters towards their quest for justice. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
