Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Thirteenth Man" by Mrs. Coulson Kernahan is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Philip Barrimore, a young author, who leaves home to pursue his literary ambitions in a tranquil country bungalow. However, his life becomes intertwined with dark family secrets, deception, and the fate of a girl named Aimée Le Breton, who bears a striking resemblance to his late love, Eweretta. At the start of the novel, Philip Barrimore is introduced as a young man seeking solace in the countryside to write without the distractions posed by his family, particularly his uncle, who often quotes poetry and literature. As Philip settles into his new surroundings, he is troubled by strange sounds that hint at something amiss nearby. Meanwhile, we learn of Aimée Le Breton, whose life is controlled by her uncle and mother, who have sinister motives tied to a family fortune. As these separate narratives unfold, the seeds of mystery and intrigue are planted, setting the stage for further complications and revelations as the characters' lives are destined to collide.
