| Summary |
"Miljoonan dollarin timantti" by J. S. Fletcher is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Mr. Daniel Vandamarke, a wealthy and somewhat reserved man recently arrived from South Africa, and his young companion, Gregg, as they find themselves embroiled in a dangerous encounter with masked attackers. At the start of the book, we meet Mr. Vandamarke as he joins a golf club in England and forms a bond with the narrator, Gregg. Their peaceful outing is upended when they are ambushed by three men in ominous hoods, armed and demanding that they come along. The tension escalates as the characters are forced into a mysterious vehicle and taken to an unknown location, where it is revealed that Vandamarke is being targeted for a valuable diamond he possesses. The opening sets a thrilling stage filled with intrigue, danger, and hints of hidden past adventures, inviting readers into a gripping mystery. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
