I. — DET STJAALNE BREV.
Kapitel I.
Kapitel II.
II. — EN FRYGTELIG NAT.
A turbulent morning at the Glenlean estate sets the stage for a classic whodunit, as the aging lord discovers a crucial letter vanished from his desk. He summons the sharp‑witted Count August Campnell, a celebrated detective whose reputation for unraveling the most baffling crimes precedes him. From the first exchange, the reader is drawn into a tense dialogue where suspicion slides across servants, spouses, and hidden corridors.
Campnell’s methodical probing reveals more than a simple theft; it hints at family secrets and motives cloaked in aristocratic propriety. The polished prose captures the atmosphere of a grand manor, while the characters—stoic, nervous, and oddly charismatic—feel alive enough to keep listeners guessing. As the investigation deepens, each clue unfolds with a measured elegance, promising a rewarding puzzle without giving away the later twists. This early act offers a satisfying blend of period flair and cerebral intrigue, ideal for anyone who loves a well‑crafted detective tale.

A master of late-Victorian suspense, this prolific English writer is best remembered for The Beetle, the eerie 1897 thriller that once rivaled Dracula in popularity. Writing under a pseudonym, he built a huge readership with stories full of mystery, menace, and sharp twists.
