Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Spider's Web" by Reginald Wright Kauffman is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Luke Huber, a recent law school graduate, who embarks on a mission to make a difference in society through his work in the legal system, driven by a desire to combat corruption. As he navigates the complexities of New York City's political and social landscape, he encounters powerful figures and the moral dilemmas of justice that shape his understanding of right and wrong. At the start of the book, Luke Huber is filled with ambition as he stands at a train station, ready to start his career as an assistant to the District Attorney in New York. He is excited about the prospect of "cleaning up" the city, bringing his idealism and youthful spirit into a corrupt system. He has a supportive father who is a Congressman, but their differing views on politics and morality set the stage for Luke's internal struggles as he confronts the reality of his job. As Luke begins to delve into his work, he starts to see the challenges of combating corruption and the societal issues that plague the city, setting up the central conflict of his journey through the narrative.
