Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Flaming Jewel" by Robert W. Chambers is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Mike Clinch, who is embroiled in dark dealings and illegal activities in the North Woods, all while nurturing a desperate desire to provide a better life for his stepdaughter, Eve Strayer. Themes of crime, betrayal, and loyalty, particularly concerning the pursuit of a fabled jewel, weave through the narrative. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the tense atmosphere surrounding Mike Clinch as he becomes the target of international intrigue due to a letter revealing the whereabouts of José Quintana, a notorious thief. James Darragh, who operates under the alias Hal Smith, becomes involved in the complex dynamics between Clinch, Quintana, and the law. As the narrative unfolds, we witness Darragh pursuing clues connected to the Flaming Jewel, while Eve Strayer grapples with her loyalty to her stepfather amid the threat of State Troopers and danger posed by Quintana’s gang. These interwoven storylines set the stage for a gripping tale of suspense and potential violence.
