| Summary | "The Paliser Case" by Edgar Saltus is a novel written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the intricate lives and relationships of New York's high society, particularly centered around the murder of Monty Paliser, a member of the affluent Paliser family. The novel hints at themes of wealth, social standing, and the complexities of familial and romantic relationships, as characters navigate their intertwined destinies in the wake of the crime. At the start of the story, the shocking murder of Monty Paliser is revealed, creating a sensation across New York City. The narrative introduces us to Monty's father, Montagu Paliser, who reflects on his own storied past of wealth and extravagance, while also contemplating his son's future. We also meet Margaret Austen, a young woman intertwined in the lives of the Palisers, and Cassy Cara, a budding opera singer whose family struggles contrast sharply with the Paliser's societal prominence. The opening sets up a world rich in intrigue and scandal, hinting at the dramatic events to follow as the characters deal with the repercussions of the murder and their own personal struggles.
