Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Aaron Rodd, Diviner" by E. Phillips Oppenheim is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a disillusioned lawyer named Aaron Rodd who leads a mundane life in London, finding himself unexpectedly entwined in a world of intrigue and adventure after an encounter with a mysterious young woman. As he navigates through this complex web of criminal activity and deception, Rodd's character is set up to explore themes of morality and the grey areas of the law. The opening of the novel introduces Aaron Rodd who is feeling despondent in his dilapidated office, where he meets a young lady in mourning who seems to be seeking legal counsel. Their conversation hints at a deeper conflict as she asks him about the sanctity of a lawyer's confidentiality. As the narrative unfolds, Rodd soon finds himself confronting the unexpected arrival of an old associate, Harvey Grimm, a man who has become a capitalist and offers Rodd a chance at a more thrilling fate. Their dynamic leads to chances for adventure, including a menacing plot involving stolen diamonds, which puts Rodd at the center of a thrilling yet dangerous game of cat and mouse with law enforcement and criminals alike. As Rodd grapples with these challenges, the once mundane life he led transforms dramatically, revealing hidden depths to his character and the choices he must make.
