"Jack Haydon's Quest" by John Finnemore is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows the young protagonist, Jack Haydon, a talented prefect and athlete at Rushmere School, whose life takes a startling turn when he is attacked on his way to visit a friend. This encounter leads Jack into a thrilling adventure filled with mystery and danger, as he seeks to uncover the fate of his father, who has mysteriously disappeared in Burmah after encountering treachery related to a precious ruby. The beginning of the book introduces Jack Haydon as he embarks on an errand, only to be confronted by a dark stranger who seems intent on obtaining a private letter from his father. After a struggle, Jack is rendered unconscious and later discovers that the attackers were likely part of a sinister plot linked to his father's work as a ruby expert.
