Summary "The Saintsbury Affair" by Roman Doubleday is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds around a tangled web of intrigue, involving themes of blackmail, murder, and revenge, as a young attorney becomes embroiled in the life of a man with a dark secret. The main character, Robert Hilton, is tasked with navigating a complex case involving his client Kenneth Clyde, who is being blackmailed over a past crime he was wrongfully punished for. The opening of the novel sets the stage for a blend of mystery and drama, as we are introduced first to Robert Hilton's life and social circles, and then to Clyde's troubling past. Kenneth Clyde reveals to Hilton that he is being blackmailed due to a murder accusation from years prior when he was wrongfully convicted of a crime he did not commit. As the plot develops, it becomes evident that the stakes are high, not only for Clyde but also for others connected to the case. Through a series of dramatic events, including the shocking murder of Clyde's blackmailer, the narrative promises a deep dive into themes of justice, morality, and personal sacrifice, leaving the reader eager to uncover the truth behind the tangled affair.
