| Summary |
"The Clue of the New Pin" by Edgar Wallace is a mystery novel likely written in the early 20th century. The narrative unfolds in a bustling city setting, focusing on a complex web of characters revolving around the enigmatic Mr. Jesse Trasmere, a wealthy man whose death sparks intrigue and a plethora of intertwined stories involving theft, deception, and possibly murder. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Yeh Ling, the owner of a Chinese restaurant, and Jesse Trasmere, who lives a peculiar life marked by isolation and secretive dealings. Yeh Ling is engaged in clandestine meetings with Trasmere, revealing the latter's strange ties to the criminal underworld through his interactions with a man named Wellington Brown, who poses a threat to him. The opening portions set up a nocturnal atmosphere ripe with tension as Trasmere appears to be involved in something sinister, while at the same time, a young theatre reporter named Tab Holland inadvertently becomes entwined in the unfolding mystery surrounding Trasmere's death and the disappearance of actress Ursula Ardfern's jewels, hinting at a series of thrilling developments to come.
