Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Oakdale Affair" by Edgar Rice Burroughs is a mystery novel written in 1917. When a mysterious thief escapes with stolen valuables from a banker's home, the crime becomes entangled with murder, a missing heiress, and rumors of the notorious Oskaloosa Kid. Vagrant Bridge and his unlikely companions take shelter in a haunted house during a storm, only to encounter dead bodies, dangerous criminals, and a terrifying creature dragging chains in the cellar. As identities blur and accusations fly, the truth proves far stranger than anyone imagined.
