Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"If Sinners Entice Thee" by William Le Queux is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story begins in a quaint English village, focusing on Captain Erle Brooker, his daughter Liane, and their companion Nelly Bridson. The narrative delves into themes of love, social status, and the shadows of a mysterious past that looms over the characters, particularly with the interest of Prince Zertho d'Auzac in Liane. The opening of the book introduces a conversation between Captain Brooker and Zertho, hinting at tensions surrounding Liane’s future and her father's intentions. As the dialogue unfolds, we learn about the father's protective nature towards Liane and the complex dynamics of their lives marked by financial struggles and social ostracism. We also get a glimpse into Liane’s character—beautiful yet seemingly haunted by her past—as well as the ominous curiosity surrounding Zertho, a man from Brooker's past with a dubious reputation. The juxtaposition of the idyllic village setting with the impending sense of turmoil sets the stage for a tale of intrigue and emotional entanglements.
