Miss Mephistopheles: A Novel / (Sequel to Madame Midas.)
About This Book
A theatrical melodrama and detective tale that follows a young man whose act of rescuing a performer's child pulls him into stage intrigues, romantic rivalries, and a serious criminal inquiry. The plot shifts among dressing-rooms, smoky clubs, and rain-swept streets as an inquest and subsequent investigations uncover circumstantial clues, a mysterious cipher, and the trail of a bank note. A cast of figures—the embittered pawnbroker, jealous suitors, and resourceful women—complicate loyalties and motives, while ambition, deception, and the hope of redemption drive a gradual unravelling of secrets toward a decisive resolution.
