Synopsis

A tense turn-of-the-century thriller set in San Francisco, where danger hides in crowded docks, shadowed alleys, and smoky rooms.

A young narrator becomes drawn into a perilous, outside-the-law assignment that could cost him everything—including his life. As the city hums with bustle, intrigue, and whispers, the pace quickens from bustling ferry crowds to secret rooms and hidden passages. The story blends suspense with a dangerous romance, as loyalties blur and a figure from the past tests the narrator’s resolve at every turn. What you’ll experience - Chases, hidden doors, and maze-like streets that keep you guessing - Encounters in opium dens and tense confrontations in shadowy rooms - A mystery threaded through with deceit, risk, and a stubborn, evolving romance - A finale that ties together loyalty, danger, and a difficult choice Ideal for readers who enjoy atmospheric historical thrillers with romance and plot twists.

• Atmospheric period setting with authentic early-1900s San Francisco flavor
• Tense danger that escalates from subtle hints to urgent peril
• Intricate plots involving crime, secrecy, and shifting alliances
• Romance that complicates loyalty and decisions under pressure

Ideal for fans of classic noir and historical suspense who want a brisk, propulsive read.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Come into the cabin, he said. Youll be one of those fellows who cant come to San Francisco without catching his death of cold, and then lays it on to the climate instead of his own lack of common sense. Come, I cant spare you, now Ive got you here at last I wouldnt lose you for a million dollars. Ill come for half the money, I returned, as he took me by the arm and led me into the close cabin. My companion, I should explain, wasH enry Wilton, the son of my fathers cousin, who had the advantages of a few years of residence inC alifornia, and sported all the airs of a pioneer. We had been close friends through boyhood and youth, and it was on his offer of employment that I had come to the city by the Golden Gate. What a resemblance! I heard a woman exclaim, as we entered the cabin. They must be twins. There, Henry, I whispered, with a laugh; you see we are discovered. Though our relationship was not close we had been cast in the mold of some common ancestor. We were so nearly alike in form and feature as to perplex all but our intimate acquaintances, and we had made the resemblance the occasion of many tricks in our boyhood days. Henry had heard the exclamation as well as I. To my surprise, it appeared to bring him annoyance or apprehension rather than amusement.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
