Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Vanishing Point" by Coningsby Dawson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book centers around Philip Hindwood as he navigates a mysterious and dangerous situation involving two enigmatic figures aboard the ocean liner "Ryndam": the charismatic Prince Rogovich and the alluring Santa Gorlof. As events unfold, Hindwood finds himself entangled in their dramatic intrigues, which involve themes of ambition, desire, and the weight of personal secrets. At the start of the novel, Hindwood's peaceful journey is interrupted by the escalating search for Prince Rogovich, who mysteriously disappears during the voyage. We learn of Hindwood's complicated feelings toward Santa Gorlof, who is both captivating and maddeningly elusive. The opening sets a tone of tension as Hindwood grapples with his attraction to Santa while establishing a rivalry with the Prince, who appears to have a significant hold over her. The initial chapters raise questions about identity and deception, as the characters are not only confronted with desires but also with dark secrets that threaten to unravel their lives.
