Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"In the Dead of Night" by John T. McIntyre is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in New York City and follows the intriguing journey of Steele Kenyon, a man who unexpectedly becomes embroiled in a web of mystery and danger after an intriguing encounter with a mysterious woman in a hansom cab. The plot reveals Kenyon’s struggles as he navigates the challenges thrown at him by both familiar and unknown figures, suggesting themes of identity, deception, and moral quandaries. At the start of the novel, Kenyon arrives in New York after a decade away and reflects on the city’s changes and his own financial struggles. His evening takes an unexpected turn when he meets a veiled woman who believes him to be someone else entirely and hastily draws him into a complex situation involving urgency and a dying man. Despite his initial resistance, Kenyon boards her cab, setting off a series of events filled with confronting figures, layers of secrets, and a growing sense of intrigue about the woman and her connections to the haunting past he thought he had left behind. This opening portion effectively immerses readers in a night filled with uncertainty and sets the stage for Kenyon's unexpected entanglements.
